Coaching For An Extraordinary Life is a collection of sound advice from professional coach Terri Levine (Founder, Comprehensive Coach U., The Professional's Coach Training Program), who offers a wealth of "user friendly" tips, tricks, and techniques for coping with the common woes of everyday life. From learning the art of deep listening, to building up one's mind, body, and spirit, to the joy of helping others achieve their goals, Coaching For An Extraordinary Life is a simple, inspiring, practical guide to self-improvement, and a potentially life-changing catalyst which is especially recommended for the non-specialist general reader seeking to improve the day-to-day quality of their lives and life experiences.

Great ideas and strategies to live your life with more joy and to not just let time go by... life is too short and on Sept. 11 I realized that I needed to live each moment of my life... this book taught me how and gave me practical tools that I have shared with my children, my life partner, my co-workers and am using to enjoy my life and work more. If you don't want to miss out on your life, pick this book up and change the way you live NOW.

No other book I've ever read delivers advice for a perfect way to live your life as easy to read and understand, than this book. I have discovered truths, which I've now applied to my own life, which really have made a remarkable difference - and that's what I love about this book. Advice that is not only sound, but works when you try it! I love that! Terri offers 'tools' to enable everyone to live a wonderfully rewarding life, and presented in such a way, you think, "well, gee, why didn't I think of that!" If I suspected Coaches were a special breed before, well, now I am convinced of it. I'm going to raise my child by these principles. Thank you, Terri!

The author points out some common sense points in re-evaluating one's priorities, setting goals and reaching for your full potential. However, the book is extremely short (just over 100 pages) and gave me the impression I was taking a crash course in common sense fundamentals. The book covered such topics as career changes, getting what you want from the job, promotions and pay raises. It all sounds good in print but in the real world of business it is not all that easy. Success does not come in a quick, 1-2-3 lesson. It takes far more than determination and visualization to become tomorrow's success story. That is a good place to start but it is only the beginning.

As one who has taught and counselled in business management for almost thirty years, there is a lot more to "Working Yourself Happy" that appears in this book! Many individuals have goals and dreams, but to make thema a reality, it also takes commitment, hard work, integrity, qualified skills, training, experience, and sometimes "just being in the right place at the right time." While the book makes for light, informative reading, it is not one I would highly recommend. The book lacks detail and anything you can really "sink your teeth into"; it is far too brief to be of any significant value in the business world.

When I purchased this book I got it because I liked the sound of work and happy together. I loved the way the book read - fast read that I then went back to and REALLY did all the exercises. I simply can't believe how much this book has helped me to change my beliefs about work and to add more fun to my day and also to my life. It is a real simple, effective gem and I plan to read her other book, Coaching For An Extraordinary Life because now I want my whole life to be as much fun as my work is. I never wrote a review before - really wanted to share this book with others.

Terri Levine's Work Yourself Happy is a clearly presented, "user friendly", step-by-step "how to" guide for creating joy and satisfaction in one's life and work. Readers will receive invaluable, life-affirming assistance in considering career changes, getting promotions and pay increases, restructuring their job, improving skills on the job, doing their job with less effort and more success, how to leave the office behind at day's end, aspiring to become an entrepreneur, and more. Work Yourself Happy is enthusiastically recommended, occasionally inspiring reading for anyone seeking to improve themselves and their personal satisfactions in the workplace.
