5.0 out of 5 stars An 'interactive workshop' on paper, 8 Jun 2009
A refreshingly non-academic work on the difficult subject of advising on 'personal development', this book hits many of the issues we all face throughout our lives and gives clear, simple messages in dealing with our innermost highs, lows, aspirations, fears, conflicts, aggression, uncertainties, ambitions, barriers, etc., etc., etc.. It is a surprisingly comprehensive distillation of every matter we might face on our life's journey through personal relationships, education, work and retirement. It's an 'interactive workshop' between the covers of an inexpensive paperback book.

The author's style is chatty and laced with humour, but deals with the difficult issues positively and sympathetically. The straightforward language used contrasts markedly with some of the quotations from the academic literature on the subject. This style makes the book a very easy and pleasurable read, and enables the reader to take in the points at the first visit. There is a noticeable lack of 'white space' in the pages of the book, which means the reader is drawn into the subsequent sections without the interruption of chapter endings. It only takes a couple of hours to read, but I know I will be re-visiting significant sections and using the exercises to make changes in my own future interactions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be brave walk the yellow brick road, 22 May 2009
The Yellow brick road is a story we are all familiar with and the fact that Dorothy had a difficult journey down it, but never gave up and got there in the end, gives empathy to this book. It's easy to read and relate to. You hear yourself saying "Yes that's me! Yes I do that!". It read well and enjoyed it, Wendy's skill in writing means you can almost touch the feeling of 'I can achieve!'. Go on read it and you'll find yourself saying "OK world...I'm ready...bring it on!".
