Up Periscope! Keeping Your Perspective Above See Level

If there exists a way to laugh-off or calmly deal with even the most difficult curveballs that life throws, Terry Brewer finds the formula to do so. His light-hearted and humorous approach to facing challenging situations makes this book an enjoyable read with practical advice on "keeping your cool" during those not-so-cool moments. I want to personally hand this book to every honking motorist on the freeway and to every flustered frequent flier experiencing a flight delay! Mr. Brewer's talent lies in his ability to find a way to laugh during even the most frustrating situations and to remember that any obstacle can be overcome with the right attitude.

I really enjoyed this particular book. There are many self-help/motivational books out there today. Terry Brewer has finally written one with advice that really works. His practical insigts, easy-to-read style and amazing illustrations really bring his points home. I enjoyed the book from cover to cover. On a side note, I have also had the opportunity to hear the author speak. He is an amazing and hysterically funny motivational speaker. The information presented in his talks is very similar to what is presented in the book. If you are looking for a great speaker for any event I think Mr. Brewer would be the best choice. I got a lot out of his talk when I heard him speak. Buy this book. You will not be dissappointed. I am actually lucky enough to have a signed copy!

Handling life is always challenging and oftentimes perplexingly difficult to negotiate. With so many stumbling blocks and daily frustrations, it's a wonder anyone succeeds in life. Terry Brewer offers a practical roadmap to help us negotiate life's difficulties with clear and intelligent principles. Following these principles can help the most hapless among us keep perspective, and keeping perspective can mean the difference between living a life filled with turmoil and strife, or one that is purposeful and productive. The choice, it seems, is obvious. The difficulty, however, is not in making the choice but simply deciding to apply the principles on a daily basis and allowing success to follow.

Having heard Terry Brewer speak on several occasions, I was anxious to get a copy of his first book. I was not disappointed! Terry's fresh, humorous style underscored by his life experience makes for enjoyable reading and gentle reminders. I recommend it highly! Michael J. Locke (Silver Lake, CA)

This book is great. Funny anectdotes and very conversational. SO many practical keys to overcoming being "overwhelmed" by life!
