Summary: You've Got Work to Do!
Comment: You can't sit around on your hands and expect your life to change. That's the basic message of LIFE MAKEOVERS. If you truly want to make over you life, you need to take ACTION, and author Cheryl Richardson (a "life coach" and frequent guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show) provides readers with plenty of action steps that will jump start a life makeover. Written in a format of weekly exercises, assignments, and thought-provoking essays, this book offers readers who may be "feeling stuck" a way to get started on making the changes they want in their lives. The "figuring out what to do" part is taken care of for you. Richardson sees to it that you know exactly where to begin and how to follow through. The author does tend to over-do the "self-care" portions of the book (her enthusiasm for maximum self-care sometimes seems more tiring than encouraging), and she's a little overboard on the "positive thinking" aspects of change, as well. But, in general, she has the right idea. If you like "to-do" lists and the feeling of accomplishment that comes from completing exercises and crossing things off such lists, then you'll like Richardson's approach to making over your life.

Summary: Excellent Tool To improve your life
Comment: This "book" is excellent if you look to it and use it as a self help "tool" or "mannual" and not as a book for spiritual guidance or merely an enjoyable read. It is simply written but very well written .Precise and to the point and this is why it is so effective.However, to improve your life using this book you must be willing to work with it over a long period of time and not to just read it over a couple of hours or a couple of days.It should be used slowly to affect change and you're supposed to work with one chapter at a time over a period of a year.I think this makes lots of sense as old habits die hard and good new habits take time to set in.For example: the first week you're supposed to write 25 things you are most proud of accomplishing over the past year.It took me about 4 days to find all 25 things , but at the end I really felt good about myself, before that I used to (negatively)think that my time flew without getting anything done.Many books will spend pages and pages telling you about the benefits of positive thinking,and how to achieve it. This book actually fostered positive thinking with one very simple exercise. This is the beauty of this book! Another example:The next week I found one goal that I felt I needed to focus on and then wrote three actions that I will take each week to achieve this goal.Prior to that I used to set so many goals to work on at the same time , with no clear plan of action as to exactly how to achieve these goals. Over the past few months this book made me feel good about myself, introduced me to the satisfaction of self-care , made me respect my priorities and now I have a schedule that reflect these priorities, it helped me find time slots for doing things that really matter to me like excersising and spending quality time with my family, and helped me create a much needed balance between my different roles in life.I finally achieved some goals I've been talking about wanting to achieve for years. Highly recommended.Two other highly recommended books for a better life are: The seven habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey and the 10 dumbest mistakes smart people make and how to avoid them by Arther Freeman and Rose Dewolf.

Summary: Doesn't just talk the talk - guides you to walking the walk!
Comment: Cheryl Richardson's writing style and thought processes are what distinguish this book from other self-help books in this area. People in search of this type of book are frequently mystified either online or in the bookstore wondering which one is right for them. For a good majority of these people, including myself, I can enthusiastically recommend all of Cheryl's books.
Cheryl's suggestions are pragmatic and realistic, yet she has the unique ability amongst writers in this area to suggest pragmatic and realistic solutions in a gentle, compassionate, and most importantly, non-condescending way.
Anyone looking for a self-help book to literally give themselves a 'life makeover' (an *extremely* apropos title for this book!) should at the very least give this book a try.
Is this the book for everyone? No. Everyone takes to different styles. Everyone's path to a 'life makeover' is different. However, I think this book will at the very least provide a jump start for people needing one. At its best, it will, via it's day-by-day structure, keep you on the path to a revitalized outlook on your life.
I give this book a wholehearted recommendation and have recommended it to friends, which I do not often do.
I hope the readers have the same results as I did.
