"Most people know Maggie Shayne as a bestselling blockbuster novelist specializing in the paranormal. But few people are aware of her other personas; legal clergy, High Priestess, Law of Attraction guru, modern day witch, and...advice columnist. For several years, Maggie doled out advice to readers in her weekly newspaper column, SHAYNE ON YOU. Her advice was always practical, always positive, and chock full of life lessons that proved beneficial to anyone who read it. Her column was largely based on her own philosophy on life, which boils down to something like this: If you don't like what you're seeing on the outside, then it's probably time to make some changes on the inside. Now, Maggie has gathered the best pieces from her column and put them together, along with some blog posts and original essays full of sage wisdom and deep understanding in this new book, SHAYNE ON YOU. Within its pages, you'll find advice and suggestions on: *Broken Hearts *Sagging Breasts *Feuding Relatives *Overwhelming Schedules *Cheating Spouses *Waning Sex Lives *Judgmental Monster-in-laws *Spoiled Children *Aging, Death, and Taxes (Just kidding about the Taxes) And everything in between, all shared with the heart, wit and honesty Maggie's readers have come to expect. And in the process, she will reveal the true meaning of life on Planet Earth. Not sure you'll like it? Go read a few of the posts at Maggie's blog, Shayne's Shenanigans. If you like them, you'll love this book."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

If you like advice columns, then you'll probably enjoy this book. Ms. Shayne wrote an advice column "Shayne on You" in Norwich, NY's The Evening Sun from 2007 to 2010, and she has gathered the best letters from that column with several blog posts into this book. The book is divided into sections on fitness, holidays, kids, relationships, finances, and more.
Ms. Shayne's column was primarily based on her life philosophy, which is sort of a modified version of The Law of Attraction (aka, The Secret). And this is where she sometimes loses me. I'm a bit more of a realist than Ms. Shayne, so I don't necessarily believe that just changing your attitude will get you what you want. However, and this is a BIG however, it will certainly improve your outlook on what you've got. That alone is generally the main thing the advice-seekers need.
So, while I wasn't wowed by the book, it's certainly something I'd pass on to friends who need practical, positive advice along with the idea of just getting a different perspective on their lives from the usual (and all-too-easy) doom-and-gloom reflected in the media and most people. Maybe that different, more upbeat perspective will be exactly what the doctor ordered! (
