Letting Go of Your Bananas: How to Become More Successful by Getting Rid of Everything Rotten in Your Life

This book was order to be a part of gift boxes given to women who are survivors of domestic violence and also to adult literacy clients. I originally purchased as an easy read to teach others to read but found the simple but pratical principles were good for other situations. Working with women who are survivors of domestic violence I found that they immediately picked up the principles and applied to their situations without much effort on the facilitators part. It was easy to remember and we have since purchased others. Great Graduation Gift...the principles are simple but easy which makes for leaving a life "free" of rotten bananas.

This was a great book. I am an adult literacy teacher and was picking up some books for my students. Really I thought the title was great for interest and it's a short quick read. I enjoyed this book for two purposes because one of my students who I helped to read this book was in a domestic violence situation and was able to "see her way out of that relationship". This helped her better than all the other "professional how to". True there are a lot of self-help books out there and some are better than others but the stories and points are great for the average reader and individual needing to take a moment to decide which "Bananas" to get rid of. If no one else enjoys this book, I have helped a student learn to read and re-invent her life so it was worth purchasing for me. I gave the student the book after we read it and I highly recommend it to give to someone who you think might have some problems but you don't know how to approach them with. It's a great conversation starter if nothing more than the title. I purchased some ripe bananas and allowed half to go bad and was able to use it also as illustration for children getting rid of good and bad friends. Great Book...if you don't like it after reading it at least you will know with type banana it is. If your like it then pass it on to someone so they can "Let Go of their Bananas". It was almost a lot like the "Let Go and Let God" so you could say..."Let Go of your rotten bananas and Let God have them".

Dr. Daniel T. Drubin's LETTING GO OF YOUR BANANAS: HOW TO BECOME MORE SUCCESSFUL BY GETTING RID OF EVERYTHING ROTTEN IN YOUR LIFE enjoys the winning audio narrative voice of Stephen Hoye, who brings to life a step-by-step program consisting of twelve keys to liberating potential, telling how to live in the 'now' while creating a vision for the future. From confronting and moving beyond old fears to developing strategies for success, this is inspirational listening at its best.

I have only GLANCED at the book, but I believe that I'll really learn from it once I start reading it so tha I can "get rid of all of my ROTTEN BANANAS."

"Letting Go of Your Bananas" is a GREAT book! It helped me see clearly the things in my life and in my mind that were bringing me down. I found the strength to cut off and turn away from the negative. And it feels freeing to be the "CEO" of my own life, taking full responsibility for the good and bad. I applied these concepts to parenting, to my every day thinking patterns, to business success, to my relationships. It is just super motivating - I highly recommend this book!
