Amazon.co.uk Review
Personal coach Cheryl Richardson helps people create the lives they want. In Take Time for Your Life, she shows you how to switch from being stressed, unfulfilled, and overworked, to "living a life you love" by using a seven-step process. First, she gives you permission to "make the quality of your life your top priority" by honouring your self-care--a difficult choice for fast-track readers, but essential. Putting yourself at the top of your "to do" list will help you connect your head with your heart and enhance your satisfaction and joy. Next, you define your priorities and revise your schedule so it reflects them. Then you figure out what actions, issues, and people are draining your energy and start to "plug those drains." The next step is getting your financial house in order. And so on, through seven progressive strategies that free you to live an authentic, high-quality life, embracing your spiritual, emotional, and financial well-being. Richardson recommends enlisting a friend to work through the book with you: a fine idea to help you benefit from all the guidance that this book offers. Resource lists at the end of each chapter let you pursue topics further. Highly recommended. --Joan Price, Amazon.com

I'm not sure what I can add to all the other reviews that rightly extol the virtues of this wonderful book. Maybe I can simply testify that after reading "Take Time," I changed my copywriting business to include print ads, TV spots and small promotional pieces only. No more unwieldy, time consuming brochures, annual reports, and other such cumbersome stuff. The result? Surprisingly, same income, less hassle, and MORE FREE TIME! Thanks Cheryl. Stressed out souls everywhere should make time for your book.

Cheryl Richardson has truly broken new ground in "Take Time for Your Life." Her book is easy-to-read, practical and full of wonderful anecdotes as well as helpful exercises. Her wisdom goes well beyond the advice you typically find in a self-help book. She provides tools to help you create a life you want by listening to the whispers of your soul.

As a certified personal coach I am always looking for new "gems" to share with my clients. Cheryl's book is FULL of those gems. If you are a coach, if you want to be a better success partner to the people you care about, or if you're ready to live the life you've been dreaming of...this is your book. Cheryl is a wise woman with a loving strength that is well worth listening to. Her book makes me proud to be a coach.
