Must Read For Educators and Everyone Else

After reading Mary Blakely's new book, "Why Not You?", I realized that it was not just a must read for educators like myself, it was for everyone. I could not put the book down! I not only learned so much about my students, I learned valuable information about my spouse, my children, my friends, and myself. Since the information is for everyone, I purchased more books to give to friends and relatives.As a parent and an educator, I wish all parents would take the opportunity to read this book. How often do parents question their children about why they did something? "Why Not You?" helps parents understand why their children, as well as others, do what they do. The book serves as a valuable interpersonal relations guide and will help the reader make the connection with others that allows them to effectively communicate and form healthy relationships.Through Mary Blakely's book, "Why Not You?", and her presentations, she is helping many people to create positive life changes by teaching them to identify, assemble, and integrate the major pieces involved in the whole picture of "Life's Puzzle". Again, "Why Not You?" is a must read for everyone. I believe that Mary Blakely ranks with the giants like Stephen Covey and Dr. Phil McGraw.

Ever wondered why something happened to you? READ THIS!

I liked this book because my child was having problems in school and it explained to me why. It gave reasons of why my child had poor school work and what I could do to help him. It also gave me valuable insight into myself and my own learning. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever been in a situation and asked "Why is this happening to ME?!" I think we've all been there, and that's what makes this book so great. This book is good for business men & women, parents, and ANYONE involved in any type of relationship. It can teach you volumes about yourself that you never even knew you should know. It's the rule book that all of us should memorize! Besides being a concerned father, I am also the General Manager of a rather large company. I will be able to use the lessons/skills that are tought in "Why Not You" with my children as well as my staff. It is absolutely an excellent book!!

This is an amazing book!

"Why Not You" has changed my life! After reading the book, I am more fully able to understand the relationships I am in, and the reasons why I do WHAT I do! It's empowering to understand myself and to begin the process of fully accepting myself. I began reading the book to get a better handle on all of the other people in my life; to figure out why they were always hurting me. After reading the book, I now realize that the pain I have been experiencing has had more to do with my beliefs than anything else. Thank you Mary Blakely for ALL of the valuable lessons!! This is an amazing book!!!!!!!

Very Excited Business Owner

Less than two weeks ago I finished reading the book "Why Not You?" by Mary Blakely, and I'm thrilled to have found such a helpful and informative book! I'm already applying a lot of her information to my life in all areas. Her book has already proven to be most helpful in changing the training methods used in my company. My sales staff have applied Mary's information concerning learning styles and the six processing patterns towards the creation of more successful presentations to reach all types of purchasing agents. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Her insight and explanations for why people do what they do are right on the money and easy to understand. On a personal note, for the first time I can see how to take control of my life and stop sabotaging what I really want. An excellent book for anyone who is in business.

The most helpful book I've ever read!

The more I read this book, the more I discover about myself. I find myself constantly thinking about the material and how it pertains to my life. Mary's ideas have changed my life. I have gained strength and wisdom from the pages and am learning how to release my fears and see myself and those around me in a more positive light. From her discussions of learning styles to the control fear plays in our lives, all the topics really hit home. I'm on my second time through it and I keep finding new things to think about.
