Better than 7 Habits of Highly Sucessful People!

I've read lots of self-help books, especially on self-discovery, time management etc. 7 Habits is probably the best one for dealing with traditional time management. However, it doesn't help much when you are confused about what you want to do, your roles...Doing Less and Having More focuses on figuring out what you want, overcoming your fears, and putting your dream life into action. It is densely packed with a variety of information that integrates a complete view of life management. Even though I am a natural speed reader, I was forced to stop and take breaks after every chapter just so I could think about its impact on my life. One of the best books I've ever read and one I should re-read regularly in order to make these principles part of my life.

Excellent. Helps you *enjoy* making your dreams come true

I am re-reading portions of this book. Marcia Wieder's "Doing Less and Having More" is really inspirational. In my work as a speaker, author and motion picture director, I continually read books, and Marcia's book is *unique* and helps me develop ease for making my big dreams come true. I found Marcia's book so valuable that I read every word. I have seen Marcia give a workshop, and she's dynamic and uplifting -- in person. Her message is so powerful that I'm reading her new book, "Making Your Dreams Come True." Watch for her PBS special television program.

Life Lessons We Can't Miss!

If someone would have told me Success was this simple, I'd have been rich along time ago! Marcia's lesson is so EASY - Be clear about what you want, then remove obstacles along the way. I wish my parents would have let me in on this secret when I was young - I wholeheartedly suggest parents teach these principles to our children. We CAN have what we want! Good, fast read with lots of real-life stories. Thanks Marcia for spelling it all out!

Put some SIZZLE into your life!

This is a straightforward, passionate work. The author shows you how to tap back into the "real you" that so easily gets lost in the shuffle of daily living. It helped me to focus on what direction I want to take my life, what specific actions I should take over the next three months to make it happen, and what I should eliminate from my daily routine to make room for what I want. Inspirational yet practical. This book had a profound impact on my thought process and beliefs..
