The author was on Oprah early in the season and I liked her. Afterwards, there was quite the controversary over the book, but I just don't remember what it was.

I HIGHLY recommend reading it. It's a pretty easy read, I think. It gives you a lot to think about and relate to. (Or at least it does me!) I haven't heard about the controversy, but I am guessing it's because it's one of the most personal accounts she could have written about herself. It takes a certain type of person to be willing to put every detail of their personal life "out there" like that. But hey, it made her rich! Haha!

Hmm...would you be willing to put your most personal of details of your whole life in a book if you knew it would be a worldwide bestseller and you'd make millions?

I love this book! It's just so inspiring, it makes you want to go out there and live the best life you can
I've done something similar to the "Contentment Journal", but usually when I'm down, I'm down about something about ME, so when I was still a teen, every few entries in my journal I'd make sure to write when I was in a good mood and I'd list all the things I love about myself. And it seems so little, but even having the worst day ever and reading back on those entries makes a huge difference

That's a really nice idea, Val. I may have to try that one. Thanks for sharing!!

Haven't heard of the book, but the Contentment Journal sounds like a really great idea. Your thoughts on how during the day you are thinking of what will go in your journal for that day seem really enlightening. I may just give it a try. Thank you for sharing this!!
