100 Ways to Beat the Blues
How do you beat the blues?
We all have moments in life when we're down, lonely, or just plain sad. It's part of being human. Just as everyone is different, everyone has a unique way of beating the blues.
For anyone who needs a bit of inspiration, a smile, or a friendly pat on the back, Tanya Tucker and ninety-nine friends offer this heartwarming collection of their personal recipes for beating the blues. President George H.W. Bush yells at the television. Loretta Lynn makes herself a fried bologna sandwich. Sir Arthur C. Clarke explores the infinite universe of fractals. NASCAR's Geoff Bodine cleans the house. Seventy celebrities such as Kris Kristofferson, Wynonna Judd, and Garth Brooks and thirty ordinary folks such as a farmer, a private detective, a doctor, and a retired gospel radio-show host share what lifts their spirits and remind us of all the joy life has to offer.

Book was ok
Book was a fast read. It gives some good advice by mostly celebrities and such. It mostly said just keep a positive attitude and count your blessings.

My first impression was "this is going to be cheesy and predictable". It is supposed to be advice from stars - and they have really stretched the definition - with some real people thrown in. I was slightly suprised. Most contributors submitted their cure in one page or less and were predictable. However, there were some really good thoughts in the book. It is a quick read, uplifting. There is something for every reader.

It was interesting to read how 100 different people beat the blues. I don't remember any one in particular, just that each person is different.
