Dancing in Peanut Butter

The title of the book really drew me in, and the rest of the book was similarly upbeat and inviting. I think the content would appeal to a wide variety of people. It's a straightforward treatment of many different problematic life situations anyone might face. The book is easy to read, very conversational and companionable. I liked reading it cover-to-cover but it would be great read just by topic too. There's a useful topical list index in the back. I think it'd be an especially good resource for youth counselors (or other "life skill" teachers). It's a positive and fun way to help people rethink how they deal with everyday (and even not-so-everyday) problems.

This is a great quick read! At first glance the structure of the book looked odd but as I got into it I recognized numerous "I've been there" situations. Half the book addressed home, family and children while the other half addressed work situations (and workers that act like children). This book is a great "step one, step two" that you can pass on.
