Now I am much better at finding things I have lost

Since reading this book I have been more successful, and more quickly successful, at finding things I've misplaced. I don't know where "Professor Solomon" got his ideas on this subject, but somehow they are very helpful.Of course I still have piles of paper, CDs and computer equipment from which almost nothing can be retrieved, but that is a problem in a somewhat different realm.Maybe Solomon, with his inherited wisdom, will eventually write something to help me stop accumulating rubbish which I "might need some day."

look no more

When I first heard of "How to find lost objects" its author was being featured on Michael Feldman's "Whaddaya Know?" on NPR. He sold me, as a person who frequently misplaces commonly used objects. Professor Solomon's book is amazingly functional as well as funny. If it's possible I actually enjoy the finding process rather than dread it when I need to search for lost objects, thanks to his methods. They may sound corny but they actually work. Because of the successful track record I've had with this resource I chuckle whenever I must place the post-it on my mirror reading "it's not lost-- you are". The 3 "C"s make sense: Comfort, Calmness, Confidence. How many times have we searched in a panic only to undermine our own efforts? The humor doesn't merely help relax the finder, it focuses. This book is in my top 5 most consulted. It's paid for itself many times over.

A useful and amusing how-to book for people who lose things

This book is great for people like me, who spend an excessive amount of time looking for things we've misplaced. The principles for finding lost objects really work, and are presented in an amusing way via stories, photos and delightful cartoons. I recommend this book to anyone who's ever just put something down, and been unable to find it again. Also, a great gift for anyone who loses or misplaces things on a regular basis (I suspect there are lots of people like that).

Quirky Yet Practical

This book is a strange juxtaposition of the practical and the wacky. There are common sense lists and rules (for example The Eureka Zone)along with some clever tongue-in-cheek stuff. It's a great gift idea for people like my friends who are always losing things.
