I'm a person who, when a problem hits, wants to move immediately into figuring out how to resolve it. Often, unlike a broken water pipe, fixing things in our lives, careers, relationships are not as easy as a trip to Home Depot. But in this book, Laura Day provides real, tangible tools for fixing those parts of our lives. The best part about these actions is that Laura is very clear in saying that they should be used within our busy hectic days - you don't need to clear an hour for cross-legged meditation to exert your ability to change something for the good. As I work through this book (and I'm still doing so at different paces every day) the one overwhelming thing about the experience isn't the fact that I can make situations better, bring myself perfect opportunities, or negotiate changes in relationships. It is the calming and empowering knowledge that I really can choose what my life is like. When you open the book (or experience any of the gifts Laura offers - books, CD experiences, workshops) you are stepping into a community that is at once comforting and invigorating. The support you receive from the other people who have open their lives to these ideas is amazing. As is Laura herself being right there with you. Yes, she does have friends/clients who are exciting and famous. But the most beautiful thing about Laura (and what she is trying to teach us) is that she sees everyone as within her circle - her family.
