Someday is not a day in the week 10 hacks to make the rest of your life the best of your life

Of all the inspirational change your life books on the market today, this one from consultant Horn stands out for its authenticity. (Of course, it doesn't hurt that she dedicates her tome to librarians everywhere.") Her short chapters, for starters, will quickly capture readers' attention. Her emphasis on action, and on countering every objection with a yes, will speak to readers, too. She asks readers to think about their answers to the following questions: What would you do if you could play hooky? What five things are most important to you? What five things do you spend the most time on? She has at least one story for each question, pulled from people she's coached as well as her own year by the water, during which she traveled to find herself (and others). Exercises, too, help focus the mind on action; the four-minute, four-box happiness quiz is addictive. Take Horn's advice in small gulps; after all, she's advocating some major changes that could make a difference in living a happy life.--Barbara Jacobs Copyright 2019 Booklist
