Interesting if you are a rich and successful woman who can afford a personal trainer and to travel the world. I spent most of the book wondering if she was serious as the tone is very WASP. Vanity press publication maybe?

Her gist:
Marry an organized guy.
Don't overspend or buy junk.
Get out of debt.
Don't watch too much TV.
Get a good errand runner.
Make time for your family, friends and yourself.

She has some good points but the method of communication left this reader annoyed.

'If you've been paying attention, honey,'

How condescending.

Fatuous.

I think this book is a wonderful view into one persons life. The topics are applicable to everyone. If you can read between the lines and apply the suggestions to yourself it is a great read. It is often a book that is misunderstood to be very literal. This is one persons ideal and her advice works if you take her advice and apply to your own life.

One woman's journey to organizing in order to achieve peace in simplicity. Fairly basic if one is already organized, but an interesting and fast read.

Some good points but nothing new.
