Love Your Life
Jan. 7th, 2009 11:13 pmThis year's Xmas self-help book from Dad was http://www.amazon.com/Love-Your-Life-Living-Healthy/dp/0743296931 . Dad is a fan of Joel Osteen http://www.joelosteen.com/Pages/Index.aspx and watches his show each Sunday (he gave us Joel's book a couple of years ago). Victoria is his wife, and released this - her first book - last year.
I enjoyed it a bit more than Joel's book due to the 'chatting with a girlfriend' tone, and it being a bit less heavy on the God stuff. There is more emphasis on relationships where Joel's book had a more external focus (I think the two read together at around the same time would be complementary).
If you're curious to flip through this, the end of each chapter has some conveniently placed key points in italics, making it easy to skim and gather the main ideas. It was a quick read due to the light nature of the material, large print and thin size.
