Summary: I laughed a little too hard.......
Review: I got this as a birthday gift, from my sister no less. At first I was insulted, and then I started reading and couldn't stop laughing. This is a great send-up of the self-help, I'm-OK-you're-OK genre that says all we have to do is acknowledge our fear of failure, selfish behavior, and loathing of humanity and then miraculously everything will be OK.While Mimi's discourses on "The Tyranny of Sharing" and "How to Avoid Socially Conscious Religions" are funny - there's also some truth to it all. It's as if she climbed into my brain and interviewed the mean, selfish other twin (I'm a Gemini) who seldom shows his public face. For anyone who's lived through all the self-help trends from EST to Marianne Williamson to Dianetics, this is a hysterical book. A fabulous gift for the narcissist - or self-help junkie - in your life.

Summary: I laughed a little too hard.......
Review: I was a little alarmed when this book was sent to me as an anonymous gift. With trepidation, I started reading it -- and laughed so hard I forgot to be alarmed. I was then alarmed all over again when I realized how much I identified with Ms. Gotist. So much so that I've now started reading the book again. Highly enjoyable!

Summary: Enough About Ewe
Review: Mimi E. Gotist has nailed the self-help, self-empowered, spiritual, survival, highly-effective, Martha-Stewart-Living, bologna soup for the soul genre. Starting with the front cover, (by "uncritically self-acclaimed author), moving to the dedication, ("To me, me and only Mimi), throughout the "Seven-Steps", all the way to the "Begrudging Acknowledgements" and the
typeface ("Narcissus Boldfacias"), Mimi never stops. Mix yourself a generous mimitini (three ounces iced Grey Goose vodka, six citrus-stuffed olives on the side, to minimize vodka displacement), grab your biggest diamond-encrusted mirror, lie down in front of your oversized Aspen fireplace and let Mimi show you how to deal with all those self-loving people in your life, including, guess who? YOU!
Don't forget to check out her website...and buy yourself a pair of ENOUGH ABOUT EWE (tm) Sheepish Slippers. "Crafted from fleece made from recycled low-fat soymilk bottles, for a look and feel that's so lifelike only Ewe will know the difference."...
