This book is what I would consider a table book. It is small in design and is quite hysterical. I love the author's take on the issue of following your dreams. The pictures that went with the tips made the tips even funnier. I am a big believer in following your dreams despite what others tell you. This author's take on following your dreams offers lighthearted suggestions on following your dreams rather than the normal way advice is generally given. You won't fall asleep reading this book because each page makes the reader laugh louder and louder.

Tip#45 encourages the reader to try e-praying if they need to speak with a higher power but are in a hurry. The author even gives directions on the next page for completing the e-prayer request form. Another one of my favorite tips was #78. "Take a logics class. It will allow you to remove emotional traps along your path. But don't correct other people's logic. It really pisses them off." I laughed out loud through out the entire book and shared the tips with others in the room.

This book can be kept on the coffee table, used as a motivational tool for employees, and as a gift. I must say that I am a stickler when it comes to presentation. My only wish for this book is in its design which is the reason I gave it only 4 stars. I think it would be better received if it were done in color. It is a great book and I hope the author has the success she deserves. I highly recommend this funny, lighthearted book filled with advice encouraging readers to not take life too seriously.

This book was a very cute little book (and I mean little in size as it was square but not in thickness). This book was very funny and I loved all the tips and pictures. It was also easy to read. This book was very unique in style and not like normal advice books it was a unique and cute and I enjoyed it very much.

This was a very funny book, that is a helpful reminder of things people tend to forget. It also has many more suggestions of things people would probably never think of. It is good for a mood boost, your desk, coffee table, or would make a great gift .
