I read this little book during a very confusing time. It helped to calm my "now" and helped me imagine a "new". I absolutely believe that making a list of my own needs - the needs God created in me - and list the characteristics of the people i needed around me allowed me to focus and create clarity. Without that I would have stayed in the pit of confused co-dependence. It's a vicious destructive place. She refers to the universe but for me that's easy to translate to God.

compassion is the act of opening your heart.
if you absolutely hate getting stuck in traffic, chances are you need a little work in the area of patience. And, chances are you will get stuck in more traffic jams than someone who has no issue with patience. And not simply because the universe has a sense of humor. You will just notice the traffic more than someone who has no issues with it.
Imagine yourself at 90 years old, looking back on your life. What do you want to see?

Well...if it was all that easy, all we had to do was to read this book, live by the rules of life and all end up completely feeling zen and hopping around full of happiness. Something tells me it doesn't work that way. She definitely got some points in her writing, but she just makes it sound like a walk in the park; like a button you can switch on after reading the "golden manual" and if it's not successful, then you don't have the right attitude or didn't quite understand "the rules of life"....more
I really like the words on the cards. A few of them feel trite, but most of them make me stop and think about hings with a new perspective. I also like how the text is broken up into phrases on the cards. It helps me to think through the words more thoroughly.
The images on the cards are an absolute throwaway. Whoever was in charge of the visuals for this deck should be fired.

I enjoyed the book. A light read not too deep into theory. A list of ideas to help a person get through life. If you read the list of ten rules that is really all you need. It does offer some good examples of people finding out about the rules. The book has a great story in it about the religious man that is waiting for God. Overall a quick easy read and entertaining.
If you want a moment to evaluate where you are in your life and where you'd like to go, this book is a great starting place. Filled with insight and suggestions. I read it with a notebook in hand pausing to evaluate where my life is, and what I'd like to do with it. I gained insight into myself, compassion for myself and acceptance of myself. All big pluses. A great read.
Small book but each rule makes you stop and reflect on it.
It's a book that I highly recommend to everyone. Very easy to read but deep. Really makes you think.
Great book to give to a Gen Yer - they might not read it right away but a good book for them to have handy after a crisis.

I like self help books, but this one is not a favorite. If you want something more interesting and useful, read anything by Sarah Ban-Breathnach. Her Simple Abundance book is all you need.
This books contains some simple, yet powerful wisdom. It's a quick read so it makes for a nice pick me up if you're ever feeling down or confused about life.
I like the K.I.S.S. principle, so I really like this book. Too many books seem to have a lot more words than required to get the author's idea across.
the book was great i learned a lot and i don't mind reading it over and over again i so love every bits of it. ^_^
and i love cherie carter- scott

The concepts are so simple but it is really insightful. I also love her book: If Love Is A Game, These Are The Rules.
When I first flipped through this book, I thought all of the stories were by famous people, because I saw one by Nelson Mandela. However, he ended up being the only person I recognized in the book. These were stories by "real" people. Which doesn't make the book bad; it's just not what I was expecting.
That having been said, this book was pretty schmaltzy and sappy. And I'm pretty sure at least one of the stories was total BS. But there were a few kernels of goodness here and there. I didn't hate...more

New-age mumbo jumbo (and pretty boring on top of that). This book was a waste of my time and money.

Uh, I don't like the English title. I think the Finnish translation of the title describes this book better even though the Finnish one is also a bit "crazy" for me ("Onnistumisen aakkoset: 10 ohjetta, joilla tehdä hulluista haaveista täyteläistä elämää" - how to turn crazy dreams into fulfilling life); I have a Finnish copy of this book. It may be a platitude that success is what makes you feel successful but this book encouraged me to turn a dream into a objective (and sub-objectives) for whic...more
I couldn't finish the book the first time I read it because I kept crying. It just kept hitting home for me, and obviously, painfully, I needed to learn these "simple" rules if it kept affecting me that much.
This time I vowed to finish it. Nearly didn't, just took longer to read it all the way through. Some may think these tips or advice are very common or too simplistic, but that's why I find it harder to learn. Life lessons so simple, yet a lot of humans manage to forget.

I loved this book. Read it in my late teens and it woke me up to a lot
Very powerful read, very short - read it in a day and it was very inspiring.
Second time read it and was more helpful than ever before. Great stuff.

Short but a powerful read, Must have in the sanity closet.
This is just an excellent book! Read it!
If only I could follow all Scott's rules ....
A great read
Everything in this book I already knew; I simply forgot it! The wisdom in this book brought me back to universal truths that are true. I especially appreciated the part about accepting myself as I am as I have been harsh to myself over the years as if what my body looks or feels like is the barometer of my self-worth. IT IS NOT. I will refer to it frequently when I need to shine some light into remembering who I really am. This book is not a rule book to follow but a truth book to ge...more

“The health benefits, both mental and physical, of humor are well documented. A good laugh can diffuse tension, relieve stress, and release endorphins into your system, which act as a natural mood elevator. In Norman Cousin's book, Anatomy of an Illness, Cousin's describes the regimen he followed to overcome a serious debilitating disease he was suffering from. It included large doses of laughter and humor. Published in 1976, his book has been widely accepted by the medical community.”
