Get it Together and Remember Where You Put It

I picked this up originally thinking the topic was organizing. Instead it is a useful book on positive thinking, steps to success and growth. The author, a former school principal, tells how she overcame being poor, abused, low self-esteem, divorce, widowhood, single parenthood, serious illness, loneliness and depression. Although the writing style seems a bit stodgy, she presents strategies for building a support system, finding role models, developing a positive attitude, getting a mission in life, eliminating guilt, and turning failure into success. Pretty ambitious, but if even one or two of her suggestions strikes a chord, the reader's time is well spent. Each chapter ends with a list summarizing the points just covered. You could photocopy them, cut into individual slips and pull out one per day to reread and ponder.
