An autobiography of her "wonderful" self

Like her other book I also listened to the audio book. As the other one her voice is just a headache!
She explains of how wonderful she is on and on and on... with some spices here and there about some tiny mistakes!!
It is still a book worth reading IF you have a lot of time...

only east coast will get anything out of this book

I will never forget the time I was in Boston and helped a blind man board a subway train. The doors nearly closed right on him! A lady nearby was truly amazed that someone would be so nice as to help a stranger having difficulty.

This book is for those who rarely experience common courtesy and have no clue as to how to behave in a civil manner.

If you get much out of this book, it's time for some drastic action!

I think the author needs to move to a more friendly environment!

The narration may drive you insane

This review is specific to the Audio CD version of the book.

The material is worthwhile, though not very original. The tips serve as good reminders of communication tools most of us have heard before. Too bad the narration makes me want to tear my eyeballs out. The narrator (author) both over-enunciates and over-dramatizes to a disturbing degree (think of an NPR host gone wild). I highly recommend the print version over the audio cd!
