Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If you loved "The Rules for Being Human" attributed to "Anonymous" in the best-seller Chicken Soup for the Soul, you're in luck. The author--corporate trainer Chérie Carter-Scott, PhD--has stepped forward and written a follow-up book: If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules. This book, "a basic spiritual primer for what it means to be a human", discusses each of the 10 rules (for example, "There are no mistakes, only lessons" and "Lessons are repeated until learned") and discusses them with kindness, eloquence, and wisdom. For example, rule 1 is: "You will receive a body. You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on Earth". Carter-Scott discusses the challenge of making peace with the body we've been given, and the lessons of acceptance (appreciating it as it is), self-esteem (viewing yourself as worthy, despite how your body looks or performs), respect (treating it like a "valuable and irreplaceable object"), and pleasure (indulging in the five senses to "unlock the joy stored within you"). Similarly, each of the rules has four "lessons". You'll read this inspirational book more than once, and mark quotes to tell friends. --Joan Price

I love this book! When I was going through my ups and downs and a depression, this book motivated me to think positive about life. Every time Id feel down there would be a chapter in this book that got me through the day. This book is easy to read and always good to get back to. It doesn't matter how old you are and what problems you have, this book will come in handy. A must read and must have for everyone!

This is the most amazing book I've read in years--the one book that's turned my life around. After reading the book, I knew I needed to do something different with my career, so I contacted Cherie. I've taken two of her courses and feel that I'm finally on the path to fulfilling my dreams and designing my life the way I want it to be. It was like the penny dropped when I read her book--what she said confirmed everything I've been learning the last thirty years. And now I'm learning how to be in the driver's seat of the game called life!

I found this book to be very exact and truthful, no holds barred in describing how life really is and how to get through or overcome small or large obstacles in one's life. Paragraph after paragraph on every personal attribute and life situation you can think of. A definite resource to keep in the bookshelf for those days that aren't going so well and for getting through either day-to-day struggles, or the most burdensome trials of life.

The book IF LIFE IS A GAME, THESE ARE THE RULES by CHERIE CARTER-SCOTT is not to be taken seriously. These were my findings in 1999 when I first read the book. Read more

I love this book. The main thrust of the book that lessons are repeated until one learns from them rang so true to me. Read more

A thought provoking book.
I think the easiest way to describe this book is "its so obvious". The rules that Cherie states and then explains are the way the majority of us already run our lives. Read more

THE WORST BOOK EVER!
This had to be the worst written book i have ever read. It described nothing. Whoever wrote it must have not even gone to elementry school. IT SUCKED.
