Members Reviews:
THIS BOOK DESERVES TO BE A HIT!
After reading this book, I would say that the title describes it well. It is lighthearted, loaded with humor and it softens the hardest of hardships.
The book has further revealed to me a most convincing sense of who the author is, and what she is like.
Loving Laughter and Self Help
Alaskan writer, human resources specialist, teacher, Toastmaster, single mom, ventriloquist, and clown, this author writes a âbook on self-care tips while going through some form of adversityâ. Her topics are universal and relatable. With Self Care Tips #1-#50 and quotes, she uses personal stories to illustrate her points.
Ms. Saffran teaches that part of existence is getting through those life cycle experiences that may challenge us. These include Parenting, Family Life, Relationships, Pregnancy, Aging, Work, Dieting, Health and the Weather. Her quotes connect us with famous and not so famous peopleâs personal stories. For example, regarding Parenting, Ed Asner said â âRaising kids is part joy and part gorilla warfare.â Regarding Family Life, Bob Hope said - âI grew up with six brothers. Thatâs how I learned to dance â waiting for the bathroomâ. Regarding Pregnancy, Joan Rivers said, âI knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.â Also, regarding Pregnancy, Ms. Saffran herself talks about â50 Shades of Stretch Marksâ. Regarding Technology Stress, our writer talks about nurturing friends less they become over-medicated after buying their first computer and their first of âother electronic necessitiesâ.
Hillary reminds us about the social benefits of humor, laughter, and mirth. These include: âbonding with friends and familyâ and âhappier marriages and close relationshipsââ. She asks us to share our stories and anecdotes with her on how we dealt with humor with subjects including Parenting, Family Life, Relationships, Pregnancy, Aging, Work, Dieting Health. She asks we email her at [email protected] so she can collect these for a sequel book to this current one.
Our author jokes that ââStressedâ spelled backwards is âdessertsâ. This book was a surprisingly delicious treat. I recommend it either in one or multiple sittings, in an easy chair, and with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!
Laugh at Life
This is a combination stress-relief and humor book. The author has a background in social services, so is familiar with a lot of modern stressors, as well as, possible solutions for them. There are sixteen different chapters that run the gamut of parenting to home ownership to modern technology. Scattered throughout them are fifty different stress relievers the author calls self-care tips. Also included in the book are photos and sketches that carry out the humor.
The author should be applauded for keeping the humor clean. In case any readers find it objectionable, the word "hell" is used a few times in this book. The humor is really geared towards adults, and even more so towards those who have children.
