Book Review

“The clarity of Lake’s advice is disconcerting… she asks the simple question: What if success were defined as progress, instead of a result? What if success were defined as not where you end up, but how you live your life every day? What if we stopped keeping our self-praise and self-esteem building blocks for special occasions, like your mother’s good china, and let it out every day? [Chapter 4 - The Good China Syndrome] …I’ve read the weird and the wonderful, the odd and the inspiring…but I can say definitively that I have not read a self-help guide so down-to-earth. I will stop here, and recommend her!”
