Doesn't just talk the talk - guides you to walking the walk!

Cheryl Richardson's writing style and thought processes are what distinguish this book from other self-help books in this area. People in search of this type of book are frequently mystified either online or in the bookstore wondering which one is right for them. For a good majority of these people, including myself, I can enthusiastically recommend all of Cheryl's books. Cheryl's suggestions are pragmatic and realistic, yet she has the unique ability amongst writers in this area to suggest pragmatic and realistic solutions in a gentle, compassionate, and most importantly, non-condescending way. Anyone looking for a self-help book to literally give themselves a 'life makeover' (an *extremely* apropos title for this book!) should at the very least give this book a try. Is this the book for everyone? No. Everyone takes to different styles. Everyone's path to a 'life makeover' is different. However, I think this book will at the very least provide a jump start for people needing one. At its best, it will, via it's day-by-day structure, keep you on the path to a revitalized outlook on your life. I give this book a wholehearted recommendation and have recommended it to friends, which I do not often do. I hope the readers have the same results as I did.

Good to Know

The author comes across very direct. She tells you what is wrong and how to correct it. She feels that only truth heals. She offers valuable solutions to some of our common problems. I gained significantly from reading the book. I would also highly recommend the book An Encounter With A Prophet where much healing truth also abides.

TAKE ACTION!

I had read Cheryl's other best selling book called "Take Time For Your Life" and enjoyed it so much that I picked up this one. I recommend both these books. I read through this book once already and am now revisiting different chapters where I want to "take (the) action challenges" Cheryl suggests at each chapter ending. I have started writing a daily morning journal outlining my priorities for the day and the week. I have found this "action challenge" to be very helpful in completing tasks at work and at home, keeping me centered and focused on what I want in my life, including more fun and productive work time. I also appreciate the generous resource listings Cheryl provides. It definitely makes "taking action" easier. Such as great web site listings for finances, humor, health, etc..Another book I enjoyed and recommend highly that has a "no work" approach to personal transformation is called "WORKING ON YOURSELF DOESN'T WORK" by Ariel and Shya Kane. In this book the authors write about a non judgmental way of seeing what is in your life as being a tool for lasting transformation. And it works! Since reading this book my life has become more satisfying, meaningful and rewarding. The Kanes have some great audio tapes too, such as "THE ROOTS OF SATISFACTION."

Awesome Follow-Up to Her First Book

If you read _Take Time for Your Life_ and thought, this book is soo great, but I don't know how to organize this, then you want this book. Richardson takes the steps presented in her first book and breaks them down into 52 tasks (neatly designed to take 1 year obviously). The titles to the chapters are catchy, the exercises are useful, helpful, and not designed to take massive chunks out of your life, in fact, they are designed to put more time in your life, I think. Her style is easy and not too preachy -- she makes this fun as changing your life should be. Consider this a personal consultation with Cheryl Richardson (with a much lower price tag) :)
