This is no airy-fairy type self-help book!

This book is small in size, and I glanced through it while a friend looked for a specific book at our local bookstore. Wow! What a surprise! This book neatly condenses all the daily tidbits that make up life, and gives suggestions on everything from completing quickly and painlessly the mundane chores of the everyday to using proper manners (not nearly as difficult as you may think, and by the way, you are so much more pleasant to be around if you are not picking your teeth in public). The book is set up in categories, each addressing different areas (finances, relationships, daily tasks, your personal attitude, and so many more). This is one of those books where you find yourself saying, "That is obvious. Why didn't I ever think of that?" Mathison points out the obvious, and the not-so-obvious, and neatly presents a package of valuable morsels to gently but firmly change one's life for the better. He writes in a fun and easy-to-read style, and unlike many of the so-called self-help books, there is no airy-fairy in this gem! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and believe you will, too.
