This is a fun, quick read that “sneaks in” some life lessons that are so basic you sort of forget how important they are…so, it becomes a stress-reducer, by reminding the reader of the basics that are important. Equally important, it helps put the day-to-day challenges in perspective by that reminder of what really matters. This book won’t take you long to read, but it’ll make you feel a lot better about the life you’re leading–your accomplishments as well as your challenges. Everyone should have a copy for a quick pick-me-up, and/or one to give a struggling friend. It’s a good one!

This was a very interesting book. Just as the title suggests had I had the time I very well could have written this one. The book is full of some very common sense information that we all (me included) forget sometimes.
The book is broken up into very small chapters. That makes it great to read if you’re short on time. You don’t have to invest much time to get through a section, and as each sections isn’t really tied to another section you don’t have to “get back into the book” to keep up with it.
What I liked the most about the book is that it was pretty humorous. Each section has a witty title and each is ended with a quote or saying that relates to the section. I also liked that the author shows us, on many occasions, how he himself had fallen victim to some of the situations he describes.
This one was very easy to read, it was entertaining, and it kind of made me think “yeah, that’s me…”

Michael Rosenbaum, [Your Name Here] Guide to Life (Barosum Books, 2009)
I’ve read a hundred books like this before. Most likely, so have you. Inspirational self-help stuff delivered almost aphorism-style, with the kinds of stories you expect to see in a book like this. So given all that, why on Earth would I tell you to read it? Because Rosenbaum’s style, his delivery, is something you haven’t seen before; I find his no-bull approach to what he’s saying a bit paradoxical, but enormously appealing. Your mileage may vary; I can see where this sort of thing might grate on people who are more about decorum than the impartation of information. But if the idea of making small talk annoys you to no end, I think you’ll find Rosenbaum’s narrative style as appealing as I do. Give it a shot. *** ½

It is delightful to put into words all the assorted thoughts that we have during our lives in a concise manner and in an amazingly short amount of time.The author’s words mannaged to mix wisdom with street-wise common sense into an easy to follow road map that I would love to and will pass onto my own children.This book lets us reflect on each of our own life experiences, reexamine the past and forge into the future. As I add my own thoughts to the end of Michael’s chapters I know I’m writing new chapters for my own family.

Every once in a while you come across a book that just says it the way it is in as few words as are necessary. This is one of those books.I liked it! I really liked it.
