Elf Helps are great

This book is very helpful on a daily basis for me. Sometimes when I get off work I sit in my car and read some of this book. It helps me to decompress before I head home on the freeway. It helps put things in perspective,for example; owning my side of the street and not carrying anyone else's stress.

One of a very comforting little series of books

We love the elf-help books in our family. When I first came across one in a local store I thought they would be "cheesy" and shallow. I was wrong. They are spiritual without being religious and very comforting - like being wrapped up in a blanket with a hot cup of tea. They are simple and yet profound and as such are a wonderful supplement for the "growing toward wholeness" journey. Our collection of these little books is growing...As a side note, I would love to live in the little elf village portrayed in the books! Highly recommended.

Simply a Gem of a Little Book

This very small, very short book is packed with words of wisdom regarding stress. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a therapist substitute, but it'll certainly have a calming effect on you and isn't that what stress therapy should be all about. Tony McGrath has put only thirty-eight short paragraphs of wisdom in this book like Number Ten, "Constantly trying to please others guarantees stress. You can respect and love others without living your life for them." Now isn't that well said? You get one of Mr. McGrath's thirty-eight little lessons for free here, but if you want the other thirty-seven, you'll have to get a copy of this wonderful little book. And as an added benefit you can enjoy R.W. Alley's humorous illustrations. Simply a gem of a book.
