Customer Reviews

Very motivating and encouraging!

Mr. Posner has written a great book! It was an enjoyable read and uplifting! I like that the book was not bland...Mr. Posner has a sense of humor. As the back cover says, "This is NOT your normal self-help book!"

A wonderfully refreshing self-help book.

This book is really a how-to manual on how to live the life you want to live. No mumbo-jumbo, just real, hands-on, instructions including fun(!!) "homework". If you read this book, and do the (painless, fun, entertaining) work, your life will improve. Period. Guaranteed.

Just add humor and watch your garden grow!

In the spirit of full disclosure, I must say that Jerry hired me to edit this book. So I have read it carefully, and repeatedly. And, I am not particularly a fan of so called "self-improvement" or "new age" type products. Be that as it may ... I love this book! As advertised, it is not your normal self-help book. It is bouncy and funny and joyful, and as if that weren't reason enough to buy it, there is truth contained herein. It will take root in your head and you'll find yourself seeing your world in a new way. Relax and enjoy.

Love this book! More fun to read than other self-improvment books, accessable and enjoyable. I believe this book will really be a help in achieving my goals. I'd recommend it, not only to late bloomers, but to anyone with a sense of humor and desire to grow.
