Rating:  Summary: Light start to self improvement Review: As far as self improvement books go, I suppose this one is also stating the obvious and what we already know. The writing isn't great, it's not terribly sophisticated, but that allows any level reader to understand its points.I think her personal stories are a valuable asset and worth looking at. After all, if someone born into a title, and once married to a prince, can struggle with these life issues, certainly an "average" person can too - and overcome them.

Rating:  Summary: dejavu all over again! Review: Great book, but she loses stars for not coming up with anthing NEW or original. The concept is great, just not fair to attempt to portray these ideas as original from Sarah Ferguson! This book reminded me very much of another book, one who's central theme is self-improvement through self-motivation. The Duchess' new book talks of rewarding yourself for reaching small goals along the way. It gives verbatim examples such as a "manicure or massage"! This book talks of "self esteem building" and of "being your best friend". This book reminded me of'Awaken the Diet Within' that has been on the market for 2 years. Well, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery! If you enjoy this book, check out the other, you judge for yourself. Or check out the website for the original, there is a "Self Discovery Exercise", funny, Sarah's book has a "Self Exploration Exercise" section--even asking you to list qualities about yourself...
Rating:  Summary: Reinventing Yourself With The Duchess Of York Review: I've been on a roller coaster for years with different diets. This book is an excellent tool to take an inner journey as to who we are, and what we think the world sees us to be. It helps us to focus on the fact we have needs inward as well as outward. There are area to evaluate yourself privately and to help you use what you've learnt about you as tools to make losing weight, and being more happy with yourself. Excellent book! Losing weight is a life style change, not a diet. This book will help you to open your eyes more to your true needs.
