This book is so cute and little and just right for my gift baskets and gifts for showers and such. I loved the simplicity of it. It is affordable for us tightwads. Thanks, twins!

I bought this book, hoping to learn something new about communication skills, what I found was a list of common sense every day advises, which I'm sure everyone is familiar with, this book did not help me at all, it would probably help someone who came out of jungle, for this book is as basic as they come.

When I purchased this book, I was expecting to find new ways to improve my communications instantly. What I got from this book was a list of common sense items. Only about 10 % of this book helped. I expected more.

I keep this book next to my office desk and use if frequently for a resource for ideas when giving presentations or planning any kind of a meeting. The information contained in this book is very valuable and is always at my fingertips. Thank you for this wonderful book making communication easy and fun.

This little book is an easy read, organized by subjects and written in brief, single-page, thought-provoking essays. One can spend ten minutes on a section, walk away and ponder, and return whenever time allows without losing the thread of the book. It is almost a recipe book for life for those who have lived through the acquisition-is-all 80s and long for a more fulfilled, balanced life. It is highly appropriate for males or females, especially for those just starting adult life or those hitting the midlife "questioning" time. If you stop to think about it, most of what is in this book is something you once knew or could have figured out on your own, given enough time. But since Lemke and Diedrich have already done that and laid it succinctly before you, you have the option of moving forward, using their formulas or advice, and deciding whether it works for you. I liked the sections on keeping perspective, work, and family, but my favorite was the one on personal culture -- a road map to help you know what kind of person you want to be, and how to get there. Despite its readability, this book isn't an easy-answer book. It asks some hard questions, and for those dedicated to finding that richer life, the work is just beginning!

This book is the type you can not put down once you start reading it. It is very easy to reference to it and it reminds you of the important things in life. It's make for a very nice gift to anyone you love.

Very good book and one that lets us see some good ideas but then it goes and gives too many obvious ideas that you should have been doing already. However, if you aren't doing them than it is a great way to find out you should

I just completed reading 101 Ways to Promote Yourself! Wow!!! So much information packed in a small package at a small price. You are a Genius! Every page of your book will be useful for me. I can't believe that such a powerful resource has been available and I had the book for 3 months before I picked it up and began to read it. Shame on me!This is a treasure. Thanks for your generosity in providing such a great reference piece at such little cost.

Her wisdom is easy to follow - but more than that it is right on! I guarantee that if you read this book you will have tons of marketing ideas for promoting yourself - it's that incredible.

Raleigh always covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you are truly seeking the kind of success and abundance that makes your life 100% livable - you must read this book.
