LIFE MAKEOVERS

This audiobook is addicting--which is basically the point. "Oprah" regular Cheryl Richardson carries over the concept of "extreme self-care," which she introduced in her first book, Take Time for Your Life. Extreme self-care means giving yourself permission to make quality of life a priority and taking the steps necessary to make it happen. In each of 52 weekly sections, Richardson introduces a topic--time-management, fun, downtime, connection with others--tells an inspiring story to illustrate it, and helps the listener formulate a personal action plan with Take Action Challenges. The concept of this book is deliberately simple and practical; Richardson's delivery captivating. One can sense, rather than hear, a hint of a Massachusetts accent, which lends the author an air of engaging approachability. If your life is overwhelming, Coach Richardson will help you find your way--without push-ups! E.K.D. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
