Summary: Mangoes are juicy
Review: As with all of her other books this one is uplifting, fun, very true, and makes you remember yourself when life tries to over-run you. Everything this woman does makes me want to have her as a best friend. She is WAY COOL.If you have not read any of her books you are missing a wonderful experience.

Summary: Always read SARK in a bubblebath!
Review: At last---I was disappointed with the last few of SARK's books---however much I adore and reread "Succulent Wild Women." When I saw "Eat Mangoes Naked" with its beautiful, vivid cover, I KNEW it was gonna be a good one. SARK always manages to cheer me, remind me of my insight, inspire me and motivate me to do enormously creative stuff! What a woman! What an author! What an artist! This book is written about how to find something good in everything. Now, Ms SARK truly wants us all to do this, sincerely. And I think thats what also makes this book so wonderful and endearing. SARK shares her experiences, thoughts and feelings with us, as well as her friends, in this volume. For those new to SARK's work, the book is written "by hand" in different colors and doodles and poems and quotes abound. Such an entertaining, thoughtful escape from the ordinary. If you need help finding something good in every situation and irony of life, please pick this book up and treasure it. I love ya SARK! PS My daughters love the art and neat ideas she puts in, too. PPS Gotta go, surfing the websites she suggests for feel-good-high.

Summary: Rejuvenating
Review: I am a cynic. Occasionally, I need a boost from the feminine side to adjust my attitude, find pleasure, keep positive, behave kindly and trust. This was a good boost. The only negative is that I kept picturing the author as this histrionic Polyanna who never really has had a job or raised kids and so probably finds it easy to give advice. But, that might not even be true.

Summary: One of her best!
Review: I've always liked SARK's first books the best, and--when I picked this book up to browse through--I wasn't expecting such a vibrant return to her raw, unvarnished, joyous and inspiring style.And frankly, there are times when I'm so blue, I look at what's on my self-help bookshelf, and even SARK's early books are simply too much for me. This book changed everything. If you've ever picked up a self-help book in a bitter moment and muttered, "Yeah, right, what planet is SHE on?" but felt more like dissolving into a little puddle of misery, desperate for SOMETHING to help get you unstuck... this is the book you want to own.

Summary: Eating Mangoes Naked
Review: Sark does it again, with delicious, sensual delights. A must to add to your Sark collection to leave lying around house. You'll soon know who your "wild and alive" friends are because they will drool over it when they see it. Then you live it up with them in whatever succulent, creative, enthusiastic ways you can dream of.

Summary: A gift to myself
Review: The author notes on page 11 that 'This book is a traveling pleasure companion and a reminder to seek out pleasure and lightly scoop it up. It is also a guide to finding pleasure in all of the difficult places: during illness, at the periodontist, facing our aging and mortality, and all the challenges of being human. Pleasure and Joy live in all the corners and crevices too, not just bright sunlight. We must learn to cultivate pleasure and invite it into ALL (her emphasis) the places in our lives no matter what else is happening. It is our birthright to enjoy ourselves and find all the pleasure in our lives. Pleasure loves company and delights in being discovered. I frequently forget about pleasure. It is easy to become consumed by work and by doing'. She then proceeds to remind 'us' where and how to find and rediscover pleasure both simple and more complex, and she writes about the pleasure of giving AND receiving which has been a hard one for me I admit since as a caregiver for over a decade I was so busy helping someone be happy that I sorta forgot the me that once was a SARK like person. This is a treasure of a book and like her other books is one that I keep within easy reach.

Summary: Opening the door to pleasure
Review: This is such an uplifting and liberating book. I bought it as a gift to myself while going through a break up. I was feeling pretty numb and blue but this book revived my own sense of passion for life. It liberated and inspired me to indulge in all the pleasure I could take. And I can handle quite alot more than I thought. I was reminded how to spoil myself rotten and most importantly...that I deserve it. Reveries are common daily occurences now. And this book helped me remember how to find it wherever whenever. This was the best gift I could've given myself. I also recommend her nap book.
