Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
These books are based on the premise that while people may not have power over their circumstances, they can control their response to those circumstances. According to Hobbs, a licensed marriage and family therapist, more joy can be experienced in life if one becomes aware of one's current feelings and then responds differently to those that are negative. To that end, Hobbs recommends a three-step approach, which she developed from principles found in New Age spirituality, bioenergetics, and other disciplines. Using case studies and personal examples, readers are taught how to "make friends" with anger, fear, shame, and destructive belief systems. For those interested in digging deep into their psyches, this book would be helpful and is recommended for larger self-help collections. Best-selling writer Casey (Each Day a New Beginning) offers a less intense read built around 12 meditations to help readers to "let go and let God," so to speak. While some religious and Alcoholics Anonymous-based solutions are woven throughout, the prescriptions for peace and well-being are sound and involve various truisms, e.g., that obsessing about others can make people sick. She encourages readers to stop judging, do no verbal harm, be peaceful rather than right, and learn from all experiences. This book is small, is easy to digest, and would likely be taken from the display shelf by someone needing a psychological boost. Recommended for most libraries.

    Wonderful book!

    The book is written in a very down to earth simple way that makes it easier to understand to anybody. After I finished reading it,I order 4 copies to give to my adult children and everyone has agreed on how helpful and inspiring it has been for them. I enjoyed the book a lot and will recommend it to anyone interested in having a more peaceful and relaxed view of life!

    A bit trite but also motivational

    On one hand, I found the writer's style to be clear, motivational, and warm. She was realistic and frank. On the other hand, it seemed some points were repeated with poor organization. I didn't really find any "revelations", but certainly warmly and directly expressed reminders and suggestions. In that sense, the book was very accessible and down-to-earth. I would recommend it for most people as a nice way to spend 5-10 minutes each day. I wouldn't recommend it for those in crisis or needing serious, "profound" impact.

    I pressed the wrong button when I gave the book just one star.

    Straightforward Advice That Every Woman Should Have

    This book made some huge points on how to live your life the best way that you can. The biggest point I got out of it is that you have to live your own life. Focus on yourself and improving yourself. That will, in turn, improve those involved in your life. You cannot change anyone else, so start by controlling the way you act, react, think, speak, etc. This is a must read for all women. I loved it.

    The secrets to a happy life are revealed

    Karen Casey has found a way to help anyone start to live a happy life and share her secrets in an easy to understand and apply method. As I read her thoughts, case studies and real life lessons, I could only think 'I need to write to her and thank her for sharing her wisdom with me'. Her solutions to most of the problems or issues we humans face on a daily basis work.
