Choose!: The Role That Choice Plays in Shaping Women's Lives

"When you find yourself mired in regret about a choice you've made, remember this little slogan from Dottie Gandy's and Marsha Clark's book Choose!, 'There is no such thing as a bad choice; there is only a next choice.' You might even want to make a card with this saying and post it somewhere you can see it often." (reminder from M.J. Ryan, author of The Happiness Makeover) This idea helps us to move on and not agonize and get bogged down when a certain decision turns out badly. Realizing that we make the best choice based on our knowledge at that time, and now we have choices on how to correct the situation and move forward.

This book drives home the importance of choice in women's lives. Too often women don't step up and make choices for themselves and this book addresses that. Making no choice is choosing not to make a choice at all!

This book describes the lives of women from a variety of careers, choices, and ages. I could relate to many of the things that were written as I've lived my own life and faced difficult choices. The book helped me to focus on what's really important in making choices that allow me to be true to ME.

This book is small but powerful in discussing the role choice plays in the lives of women. Enveloped in a simple novel type format are 5 simple truths about choice. My favorite is the reminder that there is always a next choice. The book takes less than an hour to read and is perfect for women as they graduate from college, are beginning their lives as mothers, are at the age of retirement or at any other phase of their life. I'm purchasing several copies as gifts for special women in my life.
