Exceptional Book
4 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
How many times have you heard someone tell you that the best way to get what you want out of life is to have an "attitude of gratitude"? In her book, Jacqueline Kelm not only shows you how to make tremendous gains in your life through Appreciative Living (which includes and is even more than having an attitude of gratitude) and better yet, she gives you the tools to accomplish your goals!
In only three steps and over only four weeks, Kelm's program has been proven to help people increase their joy and markedly improve their lives.

Worth every penny---buy it if you want to feel better!
12 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
Jackie Kelm's new book on how an appreciative life can bring you joy is amazing on many counts. First, she writes with an authentic style that immediately makes you feel as though she really "gets" you. Not one to use jargon and dry language, Kelm instead shares story after story of people who've used the principles she advocates to feel more joy---even amidst stressful, busy lives. The book outlines everything you need to know and do to feel better--and fast.
So many books on increasing joy or manifesting what you want in life smack of self-indulgence and superficiality. Not so with this book. Based on a national study, the book helps you look at your entire life through different lenses. Yes, you will find that what you envision will begin to appear in your life--but on a much deeper level than imagining simply material things. I've used the principles Jackie Kelm talks about with moms in my parent coaching practice and have seen, over and over again, how being willing to see the good (along with the bad) and actively appreciate that good can create amazing changes that are truly transformational.
Perhaps one of the best parts about this book (besides the fact that it's incredibly well-written) is that it is very easy to implement. Have a few minutes each day, plus 15 minutes on the weekend? Then you'll be on your way to feeling more joy and less stress fast. In a sea of self-help books that are vague and poorly written, Jackie Kelms "The Joy of Appreciative Living" is a true find.

A Practical Approach for Creating a More Joyful Life!
27 Jan 2009
Format:Hardcover
How many times have you picked up a personal growth-type book just to put it down when you reached the first exercise, which says, "Now take 30 minutes and...."? But if you don't have time to do the exercises, the book doesn't do you much good! Now, Jackie Kelm has boiled the secrets of joy down to three powerful exercises that are easy to fit into your day.
I loved that Appreciative Living is focused on what you can do right now--it's not about delving into the depths of your past to figure out "why." Instead, it's a practical approach that zeroes in on the small things you can do everyday to experience a richer, more joyful life.
Finally, the fact that she has the data to back all this up was a big part of the appeal for me. Books like this can sometimes stray too far into the "woo-woo" for me. No chance of that happening here! Plus, seeing concrete proof of others' progress makes it more real, and much easier to believe that you can do it too. But don't worry--the book is also full of charming stories, making it (dare I say it?!) a joy to read.
