Product Description
Now in paperback, the New York Times bestseller--featuring a powerful program that shows you how to reclaim your life one week at a time.
Cheryl Richardson, the bestselling author of Take Time for Your Life, known to millions for her "Lifestyle Makeover" series on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," recognizes firsthand how tough it can be to juggle the daily demands of living in a fast-paced world, and how easily you can become disconnected from your true self and what makes you happy. In Life Makeovers, she has taken all the know-how and insight she has gleaned from her years as a personal coach and distilled it into a simple, year-long program that shows how making small changes, over time, can have a huge impact on the quality of your life. In fifty-two simple yet profound essays, Richardson provides a plan for both reflecting and taking action, along with specific, practical advice and exercises to help readers gradually and permanently remodel their lives, week by week. Easy to use and fun to read, this workbook is the perfect companion to Take Time for Your Life.
Topics include:
*The Gift of Time: It's Self-Management, Not Time Management
*Are We Having Fun Yet: When Life Gets Too Serious, Here's What to Do
*Give Your Brain a Vacation: For Finding the Best Ideas, Try This
*Standing in the Shadow: Whose Talent Are You Hiding Behind?
*Stop Juggling and Start Living: Here Are Some of the Balls to Drop
*Close Encounters: How to Make a Deeper Connection with Others
Her brief, personal essays will inspire you to make changes, and her Take Action Challenges, which appear with comprehensive resource sections at the end of every essay, will guide you through small steps that will teach you to think, act, love, work, and even laugh in a whole new way. Written in Richardson's signature, heartwarming style, Life Makeovers is the ideal book for anyone looking for a balanced way to stop dreaming about a better life and start living one.

What do you need to change to make your life work better and make you happier? Top-level personal coach Cheryl Richardson, author of the popular Take Time for Your Life, shows you how to make your life over, one week at a time, using her philosophy of "extreme self-care." The result: you'll reevaluate your life and connect to what matters most to you, improving the quality of your life. Life Makeovers is organized into 52 chapters, one for each week of the year. (Procrastinators: don't wait until January 1 to start--just call this week "week 1" and get going.) Each chapter has a specific theme with a "Take Action Challenge": a practical strategy to put a change into action immediately. For example, week 1 encourages you to reflect on what you've done right by writing down your five greatest accomplishments and three ways you've grown in the past year. Week 5 helps you manage your time by creating an "Absolute Yes" list of your five top priorities for the next 3 to 6 months. Week 20 helps identify behaviors that trigger feelings of irritability or frustration with a "I know I'm headed for trouble when..." list and three things you'll put in place to support your self-care when these happen. Additional topics range widely, such as exploring your internal rules and standards, asking for support, improving your sleep, shaking up your daily routine, and sharing with those in need. Each chapter also includes several well-chosen resources for exploring the topic further. If you use Life Makeovers as it's designed, you'll have the wisdom and inspiration of one of the best personal coaches in the business for a whole year. You'll have to work with her--no instant magic here--but it will be worth it. --Joan Price

Inspiring Gift, 2007-03-29
I purchased this book as a gift to myself after reading a few chapters of my friend's book. It's caused a huge impact in my life and those around me and has made me re evaluate the simple yet important things in life. If you're looking for a change in your personal life this is a perfect starter point.

Time for Life Changes?, 2007-01-07
What a wonderful book to pick up at start of a new year. It's arranged so each week for 52 weeks you have a fresh activity to inspire and guide you. Titles such as "Give your brain a vacation" or "Finding your lost self" give you an idea of the topics.
You don't have to start this in January, as the weekly format can start at any time of the year. You can even sample it randomly as the mood strikes you. I found the advice and activities so empowering, I couldn't wait for the next week to read further.
Each week you have an essay to read on that week's topic. It's accompanied by a TAKE ACTION CHALLENGE and a list of resources. The actions usually involve answering questions, making lists, or in some other way commiting your action to paper. I really liked the first one where I had to list 25 things I was most proud of accomplishing in the past twelve months. Then I had to select my five most important ones. The next part was to name three ways I've grown over the last year.
What a much better way to start a new year by focusing on the positive instead of thinking of all the things that are wrong with you and making resolutions around those.
The action items give you assignments to work on and the web pages and books listed in the resources will keep me busy all year.

A wonderful book, 2006-08-13
I am so glad to have this book! I had been meaning to buy it for some time and I'm glad I finally did. The chapters are short, and really helpful and practical for making improvements to your life. The most refreshing concept is that of "extreme self care". What a concept! You mean I'm allowed to take wonderful care of myself without feeling guilty? This has changed my life!
Also, at the end of each chapter is a list of references and other sources covering that particular topic. This is as helpful as the book itself.
Cheryl Richardson is a very good writer. I really recommend this book.

There's no excuse with Coach Cheryl!, 2005-03-09
This book is loaded with resources. Each week busts apart an aspect of life that needs rev-ving up. Cheryl Richardson doesn't just talk, she tells you how to walk the coaching with plenty of practical resources for the serious player of life. Best for those who are saying YES to a life makeover and committed to doing the work it takes to make it happen. If you're passive instead of passionate about transforming your life, Life Makeovers is your acres of diamonds. Like the folk tale, it is right under your nose and you won't see the treasure that is staring back at you.
