I have been fussing lately about so many self help books that are thinly disguised biographies…or chest beaters. I have to read through half the book before I get to any kind of actual advice. At the risk of sounding ….mean, I don’t honestly care about the fabulous life of the author. Using examples to clarify a point is one thing, pages and pages of name dropping and family vignettes don’t teach me anything.This book gets to the point. Right away. It’s a reference book, not a biography.  She makes her points succinctly and in plain, everyday English. I don’t know how much money she makes every year and I don’t care. She has something to teach me and she’s able to do it. I can refer to this book when I want to clarify something, get motivated or remind myself of what I’m trying to do.It’s a terrific little reference book that I plan to keep right next to my computer where I do my writing. If you’re looking for something that won’t eat up valuable time, speaks a language you can understand and nudges a smile from you occasionally, get this little jewel.
