This is one of my favorite books - one I don't lend out.  Mr. Kaysing gives many great ideas on how to enjoy life without spending a fortune.  Whenever I can't think what to fix for supper, I remember his advice:  Put a bit of oil in the skillet, add a chopped onion, and while it is sauteing, look around in the refrigerator for something to add to it.  He llustrates how to build a simple cabin, how to start your own business, and how to "live off the land" if the need arises.  And he's never boring on any subject.

Thanks to "Revolutions for Fun and Profit!" I now have all the necessary tools needed to not only start my own revolution, but make money while doing so.  It's one of those great books that you can sit down, open it to any page and find something that will crack you up.  I love this book!

What a fun book full of excellet, realistic ways in which to look stylish, even if we aren't in our 20s, 30s, or 40s.  I had trouble putting this book down in order to write this review, but it just wouldn't be fair to others to not let them know that here is the book for which we have been waiting.  What a transformation from the before to the after--and Sherrie makes it look all so easy.  All so practical with tons of information and ideas.  Going shopping tomorrow--wish you were going with me Sherrie--but the book will be a great tool!

This is a book you need to buy, read, reread, and then plan to reread once a year (at least), for the rest of your life.

It's on the short and small side, but it is literally packed with simple, painless "techniques" to radically reform your life.  I've tried only a few of them, and have become so amazed at how powerful they've been in changing my life, that I'm just kind of wallowing in the beauty of it, going deeply into these three techniques, trying each out a few times a week.

Right now these three are what I need, but I'll go into the others as times goes by.

In a nutshell, this book takes basic, sound principals of psychology that I learned as a grad student and clearly explains how to use them in everyday life to solve everyday specific problems.

One of the statements the author makes early in the book, in a section about "the wisdom of the body," really spurred me on to give this book a careful reading.  It was this:  She said that only 58% of the people who were booked to ride on the maiden voyage of the Titanic actually took that voyage.  Several explained later (after the boat had sunk) that they'd canceled their reservations after dreaming that the ship was doomed (J.P. Morgan was one of these).

The techniques in this book are easy, quick, and not in the least painful.  And they work!  In just a few short weeks they've helped me make plans to move to another state - a move I should have made long ago; begin to resolve a long-standing issue with my sister; and cheerfully resume my efforts at getting a costly problem with my house fixed (one I'd given up on months ago, just because it seemed insurmountable).

I have to admit that I've really found very few books as helpful as this one in breaking through some of my tough personal issues.  Wow.

If you eat, then read anything and everything by Michael Pollan. He is not only informative, he is amusing and lighthearted as well, never condescending, fair and curious. But if you don't have time to read everything, then read this one breeze-through book. In fact, keep it near you. Give it to everyone you know. And the most important point of all: DO the things he so wisely suggests. For yourself, for your children and grandchildren, for the planet.

I love this book. Other reviews outline the basic principles of the book, and I found them so helpful. I love food and trying new things; I love to cook, and I especially love any opportunity to eat at a really nice restaurant. Other diet books will encourage you to order just a salad at a nice restaurant - this book taught me to order what I *really* want, eat until I'm just full enough, take the rest home (you can always have more later, if you want it - no need to stuff yourself now), and balance out the rest of the day with lighter foods.

The strategies fit real life. After reading this book along with&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Beck-Diet-Solution-Train-Your-Brain-to-Think-Like-a-Thin-Person/dp/0848731735/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person</a>, I lost 15 lbs over a few months without changing too much. Absolutely brilliant read.

Whether it's to your lifestyle or in the workplace, this will really help you make progress with any kind of change.  Don't get angry with the people that are resistant (or with yourself) - get this book and then actually use the techniques it describes.

I really got a lot from this book,  in fact I refer back to it often when I find myself blaming conditions instead of decisions (Chapter 5).  I have referred others to it and gotten positive feedback.  If you want to get better at anything and you aren't afraid to take an honest look in the mirror you will get much from this book.
