I have read all Michael Heppells books and this is right up there with the best. He's like the renegade magician that wants to tell the world how they perform their tricks.

In this book Heppell wants to tell the reader how to coach herself easily and successfully, and he does!

He uses some incredibly powerful techniques that I use with clients to good effect, but delivers them in a very easy to understand manner so that anybody can benefit.

Flip It is a very cool resource for anybody that wants to flip their life around and get better results in all areas. Oh, and it'll also make you laugh, so what's not to love about that?

I was really looking forward to reading this book as I had heard so much hype. Boy was I disappointed, possible the worst book I have ever read on the topic.

The author (at least on the audio version) comes across a whiny and self absorbed. The way the book is filled with banal blog comments from her readers is also irritating. I have my own blog if I want to read what blog commentors think. Also, sometimes it was difficult to tell if she were still narrating the chapter or just reading a stream of filler comments that added nothing to the quality of the book.

If you want to read about how a wealthy woman tried to be less miserable (and often seemed to fail) and more grateful fro her life, then this is the book for you.

OTOH, there are so many books way, way better than this like Authentic Happiness, Stumbling on Happiness and The How in Happiness if you really want to get a grasp on the subject.

I have no idea how this book has become a best-seller!

Or maybe I do. Maybe it was brilliantly marketed and the cover looks very nice?
