You've Gotta Be "Juicy"!

Dr. Dottie Billington has really hit on a need in todays society. We sometimes have just not given ourselves the self-directed attention needed to achieve our true potential happiness and love for those closest to us.I tried a number of the exercises in her book and they are full of "AHAs" which affect the way I wish to live my life. A must read!

This is the best book I have ever read!

This is the best book I have ever read. It gives me a lot of inspirations and practical advices on how to live positively and happily. Moreover, it is very easy and enjoyable to read as it does not contain very difficult vocabularies or phrases that waste my time on digging a dictionary. I have already read it twice but I still go back to the book for advices and encouragments for solving life problems. As a non-native English speaker, this book has another crucial usefulness for me as I have learned a lot of good English expressions from it.

Better Living...It's easy!

Dottie Billington has opened the door to simple and relevant ways for better living. The book is easy to pick up and hard to put down...a winner!

Simple and Realistic

"Life is An Attitude" touched me in a special way that other motivational books have not. As a gal in her 30's and wanting more out of life, I felt many of the messages within spoke directly to me and every day situations I've experienced. This book is rich with reality - of realistic situations of real families, of real people and with real problems... living in the 21st century and who by making very tiny changes in their daily life - made huge differences in their outlook on life. The little exercises concluding chapters helped me focus and discover how to make little changes in my daily routines. I'm not talking about losing 5 pounds - I'm talking about waking up in the morning and smiling. That is simple. That is "mindfulness". That is what this BIG little book is about! :)

This is real...

I am sixty-two and still growing. I have experienced 37 years of corporate life. I managed to survive in spite of changes in responsibility and some of my bosses. At times I didn't think it would be worth it. I had wonderful mentors and mavens to help me along the way. When I became responsible for others I had to learn the values presented in this book.You have done a wonderful thing. It was very strange to find sections that had been life changing for me. I also found thoughts that had nearly consumed me for many years. You have all of this in print...I wonder about my life and what would have been had I found this book at several points along the way. This is a wonderful gift for my children and grandchildren. Thank you
