Summary: Inspiring Message
Comment: Although I was a fan of Mary Lou's when she was competing in the Olympics, I hadn't given her much thought in years. I heard a radio interview she gave and decided to get her book. It is wonderful! As an avid reader of self-improvement books, I can say this is one of the most inspiring I've read in a while. It is practical and down-to-earth. An though I know some may criticize it because Mary Lou is a celebrity and has money, we are all still the same basic cells and makeup. Money does not buy it all, including and especially happiness. Kudos to Mary Lou! Well written and inspiring!

Summary: successful people are usually happy
Comment: Mary Lou Retton certainly speaks from experience as an American success story. She's worked hard and is a beautiful person and certainly deserves her happiness. Who in her position wouldn't be happy? Of course she has everything anyone could ask for. And in those statements lies the cautionary tale for the rest of us. Most people must find their happiness with a great deal less than Mary Lou Retton has achieved and acquired. I wonder... if a book like this had been written by a non-celebrity, who would be reading it? Its message is simple, which is certainly a good thing. But in the lives of those for whom this "formula" isn't quite so simple and doesn't work quite so neatly, who is presenting a workable message for them?

Summary: Mary Lou's book a "10"
Comment: I just got my copy of the book today. I did read it and it is a "10" as Mary Lou would put it. They were some intersting points she made and some fasinating stories that I never knew about with her own family and her past. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read it.
