      an interesting read. Advice on how to improve your life from trusting your gut , not being afraid to take chances, to dealing with difficult people.
    • 2/5
      I would love to give this book more stars. Given to me by a friend who meant well, I was disposed to park my inner critic. Alas! There is so much pat advice and there are so many clichés, all of it wrapped in lack-luster writing, that I simply can't recommend it. Its only redeeming feature is its unbridled naive enthusiasm which is rather refreshing.There are a couple of chapters I did enjoy, namely the one about nay-Sayers and saboteurs (of which I suppose I am), and I did take to heart the recommendation on Freedom for Productivity. I can't say, however, that I learned much more.No doubt a happy little book for anyone looking for a rah-rah slap on the back pick-me-up.

They were not financially or emotionally ready to have a child, but through sacrifice and the help of their families, they made it work.

    We moved around a lot when I was little, eventually settling in Upper Valley, New Hampshire, which is small-town America at its finest.

    It is a slice of America where everyone knows everyone and where some of your high school teachers taught your parents. Every day your path crosses with people to whom you give a knowing nod as you go about your day.

    Growing up, I always had tons of energy, and wearing a T-shirt that read, Look out, here comes trouble, was standard uniform. After my two sisters were born, they gave me new outlets in which to use my energy. I got grounded a lot for doing stupid little things to torment
