101 Ways to Beat the Blues captures the best elements of childhood - joy, simplicity and playfulness. It reminds me it is 'never too late to have a happy childhood'. I especially like remedy #79, building a fort out of couch cushions, blankets and pillows and dragging wonderful things into your fort. I also like #2, pull out a copy of your favorite children's story and read it cover to cover. I work a stressful job and I bring the book with me when I travel, it keeps me sane and is a fantastic stress release. I highly recommend it!
'Blue Gold'
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I call this Book 'Blue Gold'. I have always looked through the Pictures in a book first (if it has them) - this is probably part of the reason that I became a 'Tarot Card' Reader. Pictures can Reflect a whole story. This book is inspiration!- with just the pictures alone and the unique things going on in the background; messages on signs,little animals, symbols of Musical Notes, Trees, and especially the Smile on the Sun! That's why remedy #54 of 'Toasting the Sun" is my Favorite! Pure Joy. That is why the book is also a starter kit for "Getting to Know Yourself!" I also appreciate remedy #46 the Master Strategy Session (with one year plans, five year plans, and ten year plans) even though my master strategy is one day at a time and one year at a time; and #62 - the 'People Collection' - writing your name in a center of paper and then surrounding your name with a 'swarm' of names of all the people that are meaningful in your life - your People Collection! A great tool for learning, JOY, and Inspiration.

I love, love, love this book!! It is the perfect everyday companion! I bought this book back in 1984 when it was first published. I went back to the store and bought every copy they had, so I could give it to all of my friends. What a charming little gem and I'm soooooo glad it is back in print! If you take these practices literally, they will really lighten you up and shift your mood! How can you be in a bad mood after utilizing this remedy....ex. #16 Take your shoes off and walk barefoot around the block...boy was my 4 year old happy when we did this remedy together! This book is a great teaching tool for kids and grown ups alike! Buy it now!!!
