How to Be Popular

Summary: It needed more "meat" but...
Review: it was highly entertaining and quite nostalgic. Most of us can smile as we look back through the timeline of the industry "self-improvement." This book is rather tongue-in-cheek, but what remains true is that we indeed ARE a nation of people who have believed in and practiced self-improvement of all kinds.

That spirit of "can-do" is uniquely American and timeless in its application. Those who wrote the sort of books Ms. Trontz includes in this book knew that if the average person had a road map and some inspiration to go along with it, they could accomplish incredible things.

We may well laugh a little today when we see the old advertisements which said happiness is just a smile away, or a good shoe shine will give you confidence, or you can think your way to riches, but that doesn't diminish the fundamental, underlying truth that we humans are choice makers and as such we can determine our destinies to a great degree. How we think ultimately determines the type of life we will experience.

I would have liked more text from the books Ms. Trontz included in, "Yes, You Can!", but all in all it is a pretty entertaining walk down memory lane. The illustrations are great.

Summary: More like an art-book
Review: The information in this book isn't that much as you might think... The title is misleading in a way, it doesn't help to make you more popular, just because the information isn't much! I've read this book in just 30 (!) minutes (the book has 124 pages approximately)... So it's clear the information isn't that much!
