Elizabeth Wenk's authoritative guide describes the 212-mile John Muir Trail, running from Yosemite Valley to the summit of Mt. Whitney. John Muir Trail provides all the necessary planning information, including up-to-date details on wilderness and permit regulations, food resupplies, trailhead amenities, and travel from nearby cities. Useful essentials are updated GPS coordinates and maps for prominent campsites (along with an updated list of sites along the trail), trail junctions, bear boxes, and other points of interest. The trail descriptions also include natural and human history to provide a workout for both body and mind -- a must-have for any Muir Trail enthusiast. Note that the text includes the southbound trail description, while the full guide with the northbound description is available as a separate ebook product.

Thank you, Elizabeth Wenk. Wow! Talk about receiving a wonderful gift--this book is it. You can stop flipping back-and-forth between map pages and trail descriptions and camp site possibilities. It is all right here in one place. The campsites on maps in each section of the trail guide provide the biggest improvement I see in the new edition. I am section hiking the JMT and chose to start in the middle and avoid the permit hassles at either end of the trail, so I very much appreciated the NOBO guide (which will still be available on line) last year. I am looking forward to using the new guide as I continue SOBO this year.An incredible accomplishment by an incredible researcher, review by Lead Moderator, JohnMuirTrail Yahoo Group This is a book review about a trail that Backpacker Magazine has called twice America's greatest trail, the 212 mile long John Muir Trail (JMT) which starts at Yosemite Valley in California and ends at Whitney Portal after you finish getting to the summit of Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the 48 contiguous US States. I just finished reading Elizabeth Wenk's 5th edition of her classic 2007, 4th edition, JMT Guide book. Both books are exactly 296 pages long (counting the introductory pages). The 5th edition book contains much more information (some written and much visual).In the previous edition she included information for both the popular direction (Southbound also called SOBO) and the less popular Northbound (also called NOBO). She migrated the 79 pages of information about the NOBO route to the electronic edition of the book that is forthcoming. This is because the vast majority of JMT hikers do the SOBO route because it starts at a low elevation (around 4,000 feet) versus starting at the end, Mt. Whitney, which is 14,505 feet high. Most hikers want to slowly acclimate to higher elevations, myself included. I have done the JMT Southbound 6 times now and will be doing my 7th consecutive annual JMT hike in the summer of 2014.She has used these freed-up 79 pages to go into more depth about doing the JMT hike.The book has new maps of the trail and now number 16 maps instead of 13. In the 4th edition, each page of a book showed one of the 13 map pages. In the 5th edition, each map page spans two book pages, so the maps are more than twice as big in the 5th edition, and they include an extra color (black/white/red vs black/white). The new maps represent the biggest improvement from the 4th edition. They were created specifically for the book to be easy to read and show the relevant landscape on either side of the trail. They use 200 feet contour lines, versus 80 which enable one to see ridges vs valleys and determine approximate elevation levels, without being overly busy. All the place names and such stand out better with this format. Information from the book is directly plotted onto the maps. If photocopied, they'd be very readable on the trail, an extra bonus.The book now features panoramic images of what mountain peaks are seen from the top of the major JMT Passes, two images shown normally for these major passes, one looking north from the pass; the other looking south. This is what I consider the major reason to get the book if you already own the 4th edition and plan to do the trail again. She presents four panoramic images from the top of Mt. Whitney! The author explained to me she included a panorama for any pass with an open view so she skipped passes like Selden looking south or Donohue looking North, because there you are not looking straight at a "sea of peaks".Another new feature for the 5th edition is that she documents all of the JMT trail sections that are longer than 3 miles without any water or with few options to refill. You'll want to photocopy this page for your next hike!More information is given on the logistics of getting to and doing the hike, on water purification and water quality. She presents a comprehensive history of the making of the trail.She provides updated information throughout including referrals to JMT web sites and social groups that contain extensive, well cataloged information, such as mentioning twice the John Muir Trail Yahoo group which has about 3000 members.She now includes a section on Emergency Beacons and Contacts with emergency phone numbers.For those new to the JMT and Elizabeth Wenk, she has a doctorate in biology whose thesis was on the effects of rock type on alpine plant distribution and physiology. She instructs the reader on the geology, wildlife, and plant and tree life one sees during a JMT hike.Like with the 4th edition, but updated, she continues to show all the utilized camp sites, junctions, passes, and scenic waypoints of the trail. Alongside each map, she has a visual altitude profile of the hiking section involved. She covers in detail side trails and exit trails, including details and maps of the side towns near the exit trailheads. She also provides an Excel Spreadsheet (not in the book though) with included GPS files for your GPS devices containing all the tables in her book as well as additional information. Her spreadsheet is currently hosted at the John Muir Trail Yahoo Group and at the Wilderness Press website.At our JMT Yahoo Group, we have long delved deep into the logistics of how to do the JMT but while reading the 5th edition, I was pleasantly surprised to learn new details myself. For instance, we have always advised people to get to the trail, if by flying, through either San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Merced, Mammoth Lakes or Reno, and we give details how to proceed on from there. Her book includes Los Angeles though and how to utilize public and private transport from there. Impressive and indicative of the thoroughness of the author's attention to detail.I highly recommend this book to all JMT enthusiasts, including those who have done the trail and want to revisit their walk from home. Getting the panoramic images with the peaks labeled is very interesting information to show one just what you're seeing (or have seen) on the trail. If you plan on doing the trail the first time or the nth time, this book is a must. An incredible accomplishment by an incredible researcher who is very attentive and considerate to the needs of her audience.Great book, so incredibly helpful Great book, so incredibly helpful. We used this while planning our whole JMT trip this year, and it made everything so much more simple and manageable. It can be daunting starting to plan a trip like this! Elizabeth Wenk also posted updates to the book based on the Ranger Guides this year on a Facebook page I follow. Really good resource and follow up. I'll be taking the book on the trail with me (: Would recommend to any aspiring JMT adventurer, though if you're planning on going NOBO, be sure to buy the e-book. This book is written more for Southbound travelers.

(Colin Beavan, author of No Impact Man)“In 10% Happier, Dan Harris describes in fascinating detail the stresses of working as a news correspondent and the relief he has found through the practice of meditation. This is an extremely brave, funny, and insightful book.

A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.Eventually Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.The #1 New York Times Bestseller"An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation."—Elizabeth GilbertNightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.

Dan Harris Makes Unparalleled Contribution to Mindfulness Meditation Field Dan Harris makes a huge contribution to the field of mindfulness meditation in 10% Happier. In a way that only a former war correspondent and Nightline news anchor could, Harris has created a lens to look at the phenomenon of mindfulness with a kind of sharpness that is unparalleled in popular or academic literature on this subject.With wit and humility, Harris openly shares his struggles with anxiety in his life and career in front of a camera. Starting with his on-the-air panic attack in 2004, Harris recounts how his ambition-fueled, perfectionist, non-stop work ethic left him subject to emotional meltdowns that led him to use cocaine to self-medicate. Forced to examine his inner life, he recounts his highs and lows navigating the maze of self-help and professional help to find inner peace without sacrificing his competitive edge.Along the way you are treated to gems of observation the likes of which you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in print, even in someone’s private email, but especially in a book so enthusiastic about mindfulness. Yet it’s Harris’ realism and, undoubtedly, his discipline at finding unique angles to report that makes this book so special.For example, commenting about something many people have probably thought but no one has dared to speak, he says: “Turns out, mindfulness isn’t such a cute look. Everyone is in his or her own world, trying very hard to stay in the moment. The effort of concentration produces facial expressions that range from blank to defecatory.”Then there’s this nugget, when he refers the practice of some of his fellow retreat participants to bow to a statue of the Buddha: “I’m still bowing to the Buddha, but mostly for the hamstring stretch.”As a psychotherapist and teacher of mindfulness-based counseling techniques, I am highly recommending 10% Happier to both my clients and student/colleagues. Here’s why. Harris is a synthesizer, rendering the dense subjects of mindfulness culture, science, and meditation-user experience into a three-part harmony that immediately makes you want to hear more. His stories pull you in. Before you know it, you’re in the story yourself, identifying with one of the zillions of facets that emerge in his writing.Whether it’s his reporting of and friendship with Ted Haggard, the fallen-from-grace evangelical church leader, or his confessions of insecurity working among television giants like Peter Jennings and Diane Sawyer, Harris uses a running psychoanalysis of himself as the instrument which carries the reader deeper into contemplation of their own psyche.Admittedly, this book isn’t a how-to for meditation, nor is it a scientific discourse about neurobiology. (Bookstores are already filled with these.) But as I like to say about the healing work of psychotherapy, it moves the ball down the field. For experienced meditators, perhaps it challenges some of the sacred attachments (a nice way of saying “ruts”) you have in your current practice. For beginners, moving the ball down the field might look like the simple act of attending your first yoga session and having the confidence to know you don’t need to learn Sanskrit or wear spandex (but hey, spandex is cool too).After reading 10% Happier, I feel closer to the amazingly diverse and rich community of mindfulness practitioners that I might not have learned about if I kept my literary diet fixed on those from the same mindfulness “tribe” I’ve trained and practiced with. Thanks to Dan’s investigative narrative and personal prose, his book is a powerful resource to help you wake up from life on automatic.As Leo Tolstoy once said: “In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.” Dan Harris will help you do this. 10% more.I am a good bit into the kindle version of this book and I am really disappointed with it. Reminds me of the newscaster ‘Troy Mclure’ on the simpsons and I’ve not watched that since I was a teen. It’s very heavy on the ‘me me me’ and how much I’ve achieved in my career at a young age. I am sure there’s a point to this but it’s so far, very elusive and tedious.A journalist that likes his own vouce/writing. Way too long chapters for me, that flips from his memories to other memories, to god knows where he going with this now. I kept losing the focus of what the book was about. some good ideas lost in a jungle of essay writing about his journalist life. I kept hoping the chapter would end soon and the next would be enlightening. If you have a little knowledge of Buddhism, mindfulness then you do not need this bore read, author goes over many all ready widely known theories. But, hey, I now know the names of many of the past and present news readers in America. 10% happier???

The Palestinian Delusion Download

ISBN: B07YF5YS62
Title: The Palestinian Delusion Pdf The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process

Every negotiated settlement between the State of Israel and its Palestinian adversaries has failed to establish a stable and lasting peace. This is the history of what was attempted, why those failures were inevitable, and what must be done instead.

Every new American President has a plan to bring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and every one fails.

Every “peace process” has failed in its primary objective: to establish a stable and lasting accord between the two parties, such that they can live together side-by-side in friendship rather than enmity.

But why? And what can be done instead?

While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching back decades, there is virtually no public discussion or even basic understanding of the primary reason for this failure.

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the “peace process,” Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.

The Palestinian Delusion offers a general overview of the Zionist settlement of Palestine, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the Arab Muslim reaction to these events. It explores the dramatic and little-known history of the various peace efforts—showing how and why they invariably broke down or failed to be implemented fully. The Palestinian Delusion also provides shocking evidence from the Palestinian media, as well as statements from the Palestinian leadership, showing that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians will never work.

But there is still cause for hope. Spencer delineates a realistic, viable alternative to the endless and futile “peace process,” that shows how the Jewish State and the Palestinian Arabs can truly coexist in peace—without illusions or unrealistic expectations.

How Islam impacts the Israel-Palestine divide "The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process" by Robert Spencer (Dec. 2019).Some Western politicians and academicians have proffered that the Israel vs. Palestine land "dispute" could be quickly ended if only Israel would abandon its occupation settlements in the Judea-Samaria "West Bank" region and give full independence to a Palestinian nation in control of its own political, economic, diplomatic and military sovereignty. They pontificate that thereby an independent Palestinian state would not feel threatened, would lay down their weapons, and seek "peace" with Israel.But this Polyanish view is dismissed by the author who argues that these Neville Chamberlain-like peaceniks fail to understand that what is causing the peace-rejectionist Palestinians to continuously rebuff peace with Israel: that they are driven by the theological commandants of Islam (in the Quran and ahadith) not to seek peaceful coexistence with the Jews, and thereby a Jewish-oriented independent state of Israel -- which is the overall thesis of this book.Initially I thought this book would be about the author trying to argue that there really are no Palestinian-state people today. Well, there are people living in the "West Bank" ("Palestine") -- but are they really some historical group of Kurds or Rohingya who lack their own country? Currently, those living in the West Bank are predominately Muslim-Arabs, who claim that they desire an independent "Palestine" country.But "Who are these 'Palestinians'?" the author asks. No need to dwell here on the overall history of the Jewish-Israel nation of 1500 B.C., nor of their expulsion by the Romans, nor of the arrival of the interloping Muslim-Arab jihadist invaders in the ninth century. The author briefly relates that history.Palestine was ruled by the Ottoman Empire for 400 years until the end of WWI. During this time the author noted that Palestine was sparsely populated, and while Jews began to make a concerted return to this area after the 1870s -- but they never made a majority of the population even during the 1930s. The author contends that as more Jews arrived in Palestine they provided many new job opportunities that attracted (non-Palestinian) Arabs into Palestine.The author noted that the last legally recognized government of this region was the "British Mandate of Palestine", that had been authorized by the League of Nations. But it collapsed when the British left in 1947, who let the Jews and Muslims fight it out as to who was going to secure what lands they could from the corpse of the Mandate. The UN later recognized the state of Israel in 1948, but never recognized the Egyptian occupation of the Gaza Strip nor the Jordanian seizure of the West Bank.The issue here is that the current "Palestinians" (West Bank) never have had their own independent country. The author notes how Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, and those residents paid taxes to their Ottoman-Syrian tormentors. The author argues that during the 1950s when the Jordanians occupied the West Bank, and the Egyptians the Gaza Strip, neither Muslim country planned on turning those lands over to some independent Palestinian state for the Palestinians.So who "owns" Palestine today? The author argues that Israel does, as it asserted its governance of the West Bank after Jordan shelled Israeli-held West Jerusalem late on the morning of June 5, 1967 -- several hours after the Israelis had attacked Egyptian military forces, but not any Jordanian forces. The Israelis waited until the Jordanians fired first, then advanced into capturing Jordanian-held East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The Israelis argued that they were taking an area that the British had offered to leave to Israel when the Brits disembarked back in 1947, but was occupied by invading Jordanian forces.The author maintains that only after the Israelis secured these areas did the Arabs begin to demand a right to self-determination and full independence. Essentially, the Arab-Palestinians were a fabricated stateless people (Jordanians) living on Israeli lands that the Israelis could not secure back in 1947.The author recounts the many failed attempts by U.S. presidents to entice Israel's neighbors to recognize the Jewish state of Israel since 1948. No need to recount them in this review.The author argues that the PLO/PA has never sought peace with an independent Jewish state. The author contends that the PLO/PA leaders used the English language to deceive their true anti-Jew/Israel thoughts that they so freely spoke of in Arabic. The author provides many such deceptive talk (taqiyya) in this book.So what does the future hold for "Palestine"? A one-state solution of Israel incorporating (annexing) all of the West Bank? Or some two-state solution that grants some political independence to the Arab denizens in the West Bank? The author discusses the pros and cons of both "solutions". The author argues that the first option would most likely result in the "final solution" of Israel, as the Muslims and their "right of return" relatives would greatly outnumber the Jewish Israelis at the election ballot boxes.The author argues persuasively that as long as the West Bank Palestinians adhere to their (anti-Jew) Muslim religion that "peace in our time" will remain an illusive dream in the foreseeable future. This book eloquently presents the author's assertion that the current Israel-Palestine dispute cannot be understood until one ponders the corruptive influence of Islamic theology on this divisive issue. Sadly, no maps.

Girl, Wash Your Face Pdf

ISBN: B077GZBL1Y
Title: Girl, Wash Your Face Pdf Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be

Number one New York Times Best Seller

Do you ever suspect that everyone else has life figured out and you don't have a clue? If so, Rachel Hollis has something to tell you: That's a lie.

As the founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and CEO of her own media company, Rachel Hollis developed an immense online community by sharing tips for better living while fearlessly revealing the messiness of her own life. Now, in this challenging and inspiring new book, Rachel exposes the 20 lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we've told ourselves so often we don't even hear them anymore.

With painful honesty and fearless humor, Rachel unpacks and examines the falsehoods that once left her feeling overwhelmed and unworthy, and reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be.

With unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity, Girl, Wash Your Face shows you how to live with passion and hustle - and how to give yourself grace without giving up.

A looooonng not-so-humble brag. Skip it. Every woman alive is racing to grab their personal copy of the book Girl Wash Your Face. I read this back when it first came out, and I had pretty high expectations based on all the marketing hoopla. I honestly didn’t know who the author was prior to ordering the book. I watched a few videos of her before reading it and found it difficult to connect with her, but I read the book anyway.I believe this was partially marketed as a “Christian” book, but it’s pretty far from it. She definitely downplays the religious element, and I was left feeling like her view of God is terrifyingly self-serving. She is definitely her own biggest fan and does not have a humble bone in her body.I’m honestly really surprised to see how many women are raving about this book. I know there are quite a few that aren’t, but still. The book is one looooonggg not-so-humble brag...Incredibly superficial, shallow at best. This is not earth-shattering, introspective writing that will change your life. It’s common sense regurgitated accompanied by so many contradictions. Page upon page of her repeatedly tooting her own horn and every so often throwing God a bone. So bizarre. I had to force myself to finish it only because I spent money on it. Should’ve borrowed from the library!The power of marketing is real, people. It’s the only reason this book has sold so many copies. This is the literary version of the social experiment where people enter an elevator with other people facing the wrong way - new people coming on start facing the wrong way, too. Everyone else is doing it, right?If you haven’t read this book yet, just don’t. Spend your time reading a biography by a successful person or some Brene Brown or Anne Lamott...Lysa Terkeurst or Ann Voskamp.If you do choose to read this or have read it, I would encourage you to really dive in, dissect it and form your own opinion. Not what that “influencer” on IG thinks about it, what YOU think about it. It’s ok to call it like it is, self-help sprinkled with vague Christian fluff.We live in such a weird time...with social media and marketing constantly influencing our purchases and loyalties and opinions. I could go on, but I’ll leave it there!You might want to borrow it before you waste your money I don't understand all the hype about this book. Rachel Hollis's life experience is so near perfect and so far removed from that of the average woman, that there is almost nothing in this book that is actually relatable. She uses the following examples in her book:1. She dropped out of school at 19 to pursue her successful event planning business that catered to Hollywood celebrities.2. She had one intimate relationship outside of marriage. They broke up for two days. On the third day he professed his love and they ended up getting married.3. Although they have four children, she and her husband struggled with infertility for eight months.4. Hollis admits she has a mean streak and uses the example of making fun of a girl in high school for shaving her toes.5. Hollis also shares in the book that she peed her pants on a trampoline and had a cavity at one point.6. Almost every chapter talks about how she made the Forbes "Top 40 Under 40 list", runs her own multi-million dollar company, and is a "good Christian girl".Perhaps this book could be appreciated by women who have lived a very blessed and sheltered life. But for anyone who has ever had to deal with real life issues such as poverty, illness, abuse, depression, co-dependency, dysfunctional families, loneliness, etc. I recommend you look elsewhere because this book will come across as one long never-ending humblebrag. All eight women in my book club agreed that the book had a tone that was "inauthentic", "judgmental", and "preachy". If you want to read truly authentic, genuine work that sheds light on overcoming human imperfections and failings, I recommend reading Jeanette Walls, Cheryl Strayed, and Elizabeth Gilbert. These female authors have lived very imperfect lives - like most of us - and you will find their work far more relatable than this book which comes across as self-aggrandizing propaganda. I ended up returning the book for a full refund, which I never do.Note: My original one-star review of the book (which 93 people found helpful in the first 3 days) was reported to Amazon and removed for not meeting "community standards" even though the tone was very respectful. I'm sharing this because it might help explain all the five-star reviews.

Girl, Wash Your Face Free Pdf

ISBN: B072TMB75T
Title: Girl, Wash Your Face Pdf Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Do you ever suspect that everyone else has life figured out and you don’t have a clue? If so, Rachel Hollis has something to tell you: that’s a lie.

As the founder of the lifestyle website TheChicSite.com and CEO of her own media company, Rachel Hollis developed an immense online community by sharing tips for better living while fearlessly revealing the messiness of her own life. Now, in this challenging and inspiring new book, Rachel exposes the twenty lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.

With painful honesty and fearless humor, Rachel unpacks and examines the falsehoods that once left her feeling overwhelmed and unworthy, and reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be.

With unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity, Girl, Wash Your Face shows you how to live with passion and hustle--and how to give yourself grace without giving up.

You might want to borrow it before you waste your money I don't understand all the hype about this book. Rachel Hollis's life experience is so near perfect and so far removed from that of the average woman, that there is almost nothing in this book that is actually relatable. She uses the following examples in her book:1. She dropped out of school at 19 to pursue her successful event planning business that catered to Hollywood celebrities.2. She had one intimate relationship outside of marriage. They broke up for two days. On the third day he professed his love and they ended up getting married.3. Although they have four children, she and her husband struggled with infertility for eight months.4. Hollis admits she has a mean streak and uses the example of making fun of a girl in high school for shaving her toes.5. Hollis also shares in the book that she peed her pants on a trampoline and had a cavity at one point.6. Almost every chapter talks about how she made the Forbes "Top 40 Under 40 list", runs her own multi-million dollar company, and is a "good Christian girl".Perhaps this book could be appreciated by women who have lived a very blessed and sheltered life. But for anyone who has ever had to deal with real life issues such as poverty, illness, abuse, depression, co-dependency, dysfunctional families, loneliness, etc. I recommend you look elsewhere because this book will come across as one long never-ending humblebrag. All eight women in my book club agreed that the book had a tone that was "inauthentic", "judgmental", and "preachy". If you want to read truly authentic, genuine work that sheds light on overcoming human imperfections and failings, I recommend reading Jeanette Walls, Cheryl Strayed, and Elizabeth Gilbert. These female authors have lived very imperfect lives - like most of us - and you will find their work far more relatable than this book which comes across as self-aggrandizing propaganda. I ended up returning the book for a full refund, which I never do.Note: My original one-star review of the book (which 93 people found helpful in the first 3 days) was reported to Amazon and removed for not meeting "community standards" even though the tone was very respectful. I'm sharing this because it might help explain all the five-star reviews.How is this a 4.8 out of 5? I bought this audiobook based on the 4.8/5 review I saw. After listening to 4 chapters of sanctimonious twaddle from someone with a very narrow life I was completely confused. I became even more confused after browsing through the customer reviews and seeing that there were more negative reviews written than positive. Doesn't seem to add up.Additionally, the write-up claims she "fearlessly shares her flaws" in ways that will help women everywhere. If accidentally peeing a little on a trampoline or having a cavity in your tooth are "startling personal revelations", then you have an extremely blessed life.As a matter of fact, her life seems charmed from the beginning. I don't want to marginalize the hard work she has put into her company, children, marriage, etc., but as a 21 year veteran of the armed service I have a very hard time listening to her natter on about her John Hughes-worthy virginal romance with her husband to be as "one of the most painful things" she can remember. She then had the hubris to pertly announce that she "revokes permission" to anyone that has deviated from a diet, workout plan, or actions directly from their checklist of stated goals based on loss or tragedy in their lives, nor does she trust anyone that ever breaks a promise to themselves.What about women that have lost a child? Those that have been beaten, verbally abused, raped, or shot at? What about those forging their way through life in male-dominated careers instead of party planning?I don't mind that the author was Christian. I would happily read anything of value from anyone of any religion, especially if they are speaking about how that religion has enriched their lives, but she comes off as preachy. She states over and OVER again that she is the daughter of a preacher and there is a goal of perfection that she is required to live up to as thus.Her stated imperfections come off like the answers you should give if asked what your biggest flaw is at a job interview. This book was a platform to show off her fairy-dusted life with butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth prose, liberally sprinkled with the obligatory "y'alls" and "girlfriends" you would expect to hear at a Junior League meeting in the 1950's. She clearly states that one of her goals is to uplift and encourage women, and even admits to talking badly about someone...only once her life...in secrecy... to her best friend in high school, and it haunts her to this day that she criticized that poor girl's hairy toes.I am not a woman that tears others down for sport. I am glad she has a wonderful life. Assuming the reason for this book is actually to uplift others and not just another success rung in her "overachieving workaholic" (one of her worst flaws) life, I do not think it hits the mark. Perhaps she should stick to her lifestyle blog.If you also have had a very sheltered upbringing and never have had any major issues, then this book may be helpful for you. For any of the rest of us who have had to deal with real struggles in life it is drivel. I returned it after reading about 1/4 of the book.*Additional remarks after reading comments:I didn't read far enough, and I see that Ms. Hollis has suffered some in her life. I am glad that her book has helped some people. However, I do not believe that the reason she wrote this has anything to do with altruism; this book was written for her to self proclaim excellence. I am very much bothered by the fact that her ratings are so high based on her begging her blog followers to write reviews. Her specialty is lifestyle, not psychology, and i do believe that this can be a damaging book for women whom are struggling on a daily basis.I wanted to love it... Like so many other reviewers, I wanted to love it... So many of my friends have nothing but praises for the book, so I bought it.I’ve been disappointed from the start. I ended up feeling so annoyed that I wasn’t able to finish the book.I felt like it was too much “me me me” and humble bragging, as another reviewer pointed out.
