Summary: not bad
Review: While she usually comes off great on Oprah, the author's writing style tends to be a little too syrupy at times. The books is short and nice, full of some good ideas, but tends to run towards religion and faith a lot (annoying to those of us who are not christian) and be a little too corny.

Summary: You've Got Work to Do!
Review: You can't sit around on your hands and expect your life to change. That's the basic message of LIFE MAKEOVERS. If you truly want to make over you life, you need to take ACTION, and author Cheryl Richardson (a "life coach" and frequent guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show) provides readers with plenty of action steps that will jump start a life makeover. Written in a format of weekly exercises, assignments, and thought-provoking essays, this book offers readers who may be "feeling stuck" a way to get started on making the changes they want in their lives. The "figuring out what to do" part is taken care of for you. Richardson sees to it that you know exactly where to begin and how to follow through. The author does tend to over-do the "self-care" portions of the book (her enthusiasm for maximum self-care sometimes seems more tiring than encouraging), and she's a little overboard on the "positive thinking" aspects of change, as well. But, in general, she has the right idea. If you like "to-do" lists and the feeling of accomplishment that comes from completing exercises and crossing things off such lists, then you'll like Richardson's approach to making over your life.
