I saw this book in the bookstore and at that moment I thought it would be a great read and I was right. A little pick me up with quotes and inspirational stories. I will definitely use the information in this book. A great 30 day challenge that I will continue to carry.
Harrell (An Attitude of Gratitude: 21 Life Lessons) encourages readers to reflect on 30 words in 30 days. In identically formatted chapters, he introduces those terms (e.g., enthusiasm) then presents insights that help reinforce the essence of the term (this makes up the subtitle’s “say, believe, and receive” methodology). Quotes, like Vince Lombardi’s “If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm,” also help readers recall the lesson. Self-starters needing just the slightest jump-start will enjoy Harrell’s device and find the lessons simple and effective; however, readers who desire a more thorough approach will grow impatient with the lack of how-to. Pass; public libraries would do better to consider sincere, appealing titles like Fred Rogers’s The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember and Kent M. Keith’s Do It Anyway: The Handbook for Finding Personal Meaning and Deep Happiness in a Crazy World.

I loved this book and it helped me with my personal situation. What I did was leave it on top of a table on the living room and read one or sometimes two messages of the day. Many things helped me in it, but here's a quote I really liked: "Don't confuse success with wealth, popularity or fame. Success is personal and everyone's definition is different, so celebrate every positive step you take, no matter how small." Here's another quote that really helped me: "I am strong, turning my setbacks into comebacks." I totally recommend this book, especially for a light morning read. It's not too long or thick and people with busy lives who want to do some meditating reading should consider this book.
It took me 30 days to finish it because it's read-one-chapter-a-day kind of book. So, it's an easy read for those who are busy but need to read a self help book. Recommended!
