Format:Paperback
In exactly the way the author claims, this book has really helped me improve my life over the last 12 months. The strength of this book is its powerful simplicity. Many of the ideas, suggestions and techniques can be found elsewhere in many other popular self-help writings, but Jinny Ditzler's approach inspires action almost effortlessly. Compared to other similar books, it is almost impossible to read this without making at least one or two of her lists which then empowers you to make positive life changes.
A criticism might be that it is fairly basic stuff that we know already, but answering the various lists of questions here brings new clarity and confidence about what is going on, or not going on, in one's life. Parts one and two are preparation for "the ten best year yet questions" in part three. These are basically all about looking honestly at your life, seeing clearly what works and what doesn't, then setting clear and specific goals in different areas over the next 12 months.
If, like me, you are someone who loves reading these kind of books but finds that it often seems to take rather a lot of hard work to put the ideas into practice, I recommend Your Best Year Yet! Inevitably I did not achieve some of my goals for the last 12 months, but the considerable improvements I did make (plus increased clarity about goals for the future) were partly due to getting a realistic focus from this book.

If like me you are one of those people who have lots of big ideas but can't seem to get going, this book will make sure you get off your back side and do something about it. It is structured according to lists and written plans, not just a pie in the sky dream list. The "Best Year Yet" plan ensures that you have scrutinised those areas of your life that really need attention. It helps you determine your priorities and provides you with tools to make sure you get things done. I had complete faith in the author. She drops in anecdotes from her life, and from the lives of her clients (she runs BYY seminars) so that you feel you are not alone. We are real people, with real problems and obstacles to overcome. Jinny has written an excellent self-help book. I read it in one sitting and have been inspired to write my own BYY plans. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

I liked this book for the excitement that the process of working out my goals and priorities created for me. I originally started the process in August and by December I had made some very good progress. It is motivating and clear to have the 1 page 'best year yet' plan.
The one significant flaw for me was the rather hopeful promise that it was possible to have a plan for the year put together in just three hours. I don't believe it would be possible to do such a plan that wouldn't need significant revision somewhere further along the line.
Overall I feel this is a good book, however I find that I needed about a week to do the plan properly. Also I needed to bolster the content with other texts concerning goal setting for me to be able to put a considered plan together.
