Get Yours!: How to Have Everything You Ever Dreamed of and More

I read this book because my girlfriend was reading it (not usually the kind of book I would seek out, a self-help book for women), but once I started into it, i could not put it down. I secretly kept reading it without my girlfriend's knowledge, putting another book jacket over it, so when out in public people would not wonder why I was so intently reading this book! But now that I have finished it and been quite inspired by Ms. Barnett's story, experience and advice, I am no longer embarassed, rather, i am inspired enough to write a review. The very next day i noticed ways that the book had affected my outlook and some of the everyday choices one makes that affect the future. thanks for sharing, Ms. Barnett...

This book is fabulous - fun and entertaining - filled with humour and celebrities...but the core of the book is the kind of solid advice that keeps you nodding your head while you read because you immediately recognize its truth. Right after I finished the last page I went out and bought copies for my friends, I had to share the inspiration!

Amy Barnett has written a wonderfully readable, smart book to help young women fulfill their potential. She offers fresh perspectives on real life situations and engages the reader with question and answer follow-ups as well as interviews with contemporary women of color who have become role models in their own right. This book is the real deal - written by someone who's been there!

This book is perfect for young women who want to get what they desire and keep their personal balance. Amy Barnett has wrtten a book that builds on her own experience plus that of the well-known people she interviews. Combine that with clear guidelines for measuring and evaluating progress and this book should be required for women on their way up.

So you aren't the type of person that normally buys "self-help" books? Get this one. And one for each of your girlfriends too.
