I found the book well written, as expected from this author. The examples and tips he offers are sensible and the honest, direct, no nonsense advice we would expect from Derryn.
He lost a star because of the inclusion of the "gym dialogue". I could not understand why someone of his intelligence would preface this scene by saying they know they would regret including it and then do it anyway. If in doubt - leave it out, is probably another tip he should have given. Otherwise a good read.

Great insight and common sense

A wide range of subjects that most of us perhaps will face one day, and be required to deal with. It's about Coping .

There are certainly some good tips in this book about facing life ‘as it is’. He is frank and honest, maybe melodramatic but has his life finally under control.

Loved it. Blunt honesty about every life subject
