a MUST READ for ALL of us!

I saw Maria on the Oprah show and immediately added her book to my list to look it over on my next visit to the bookstore. Well, I did just that and found myself sitting down to read it right in the store. I enjoyed it very much...wanted my adult children and recently widowed sister to read it, too, so I bought it. This small little book is based on the speech Maria gave at her nephew's college graduation, but I think the message is very important to anyone from junior high school and up. If you love a teenager or have an active grandmother with a birthday coming up...or anyone in between, BUY THE BOOK! Yes, it's a quick read, but the message is an important one.

Very Powerful Book

I was feeling very lost in my life and this book helped me realize that I was still identifying with my Corporate job that I had left 5 years earlier. This book has shown me the way to look internally and identify who I am. The message in this book has given me the courage to stop living up to society's definitions and standards, to stop identifying with things or a job. This book brought me to tears as I realized why I was stuck in fear in my life and lost. Maria bares her soul and it is helping men and women around the world stop living in fear and find the courage to follow their dreams. Thank you Maria for having the courage to share your struggles along your journey! I am no longer living a life of quiet desperation!

I FOUND THE BOOK TO BE SMALL AND COULD BE READ IN ONE SETTING. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AND HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO PLAN WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH YOUR LIFE AND BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.

A Very Helpful Book

Honestly, I did not expect Ms. Shriver's book to be more than a light read. I did not consider changing my mind until I passed page ten. My first impressions were about the genuine openness of Ms. Shriver's commentary about herself and the wonderful humor that pops-up unexpectedly. As I read further, I found her comments and descriptions related to her topic to be quite insightful. I believe most people ask similar questions about who they really are; what they want to do with their lives; why they are here on earth; and so many more deeply personal queries. Ms. Shriver's question as to who she really was, and not what she does in this world, will probably resonate with many. I found the speech Ms. Shriver gave to her nephew's high school graduation class to be excellent. I rather suspect no one in that audience was bored or unmoved by her speech--unusual for graduation speakers! I do recommend this little book of ninety-five pages to everyone (men included). However, the primary readership may be limited to women and grandparents. I hope not. This is an excellent book to be shared with daughters, sons, grandchildren, and others outside the family circle. The book's brevity may work to its advantage when given as a gift to young adults with the attention span of a thirty-second commercial. Personally I would not wait until high school graduation to give a copy of this book to a young adult--I think the book should be given at the start of high school, or sooner if you have a smart young adult in your family. Life is hard enough, and this thoughtful little book can provide anyone a logical starting point from which to ponder those profound personal questions we all have. As Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Thank you, Ms. Shriver, for helping to make those personal journeys just a little easier to navigate.
