Self-Improvement: A Guide

A Review by Art Mooney

Self-help guru Sabrina Lattimore has done it again with her latest book, Self-Improvement: A Guide. This work, published in hardback by Nelson Publishers, is her eighth and, in my opinion, best book. It provides a step-by-step method for improving every aspect of a person's life. Of course, the writing is filled with witty comments and fascinating personal anecdotes, making the book even more interesting. I've already found myself adopting some of the steps Ms. Lattimore suggests for improving myself, and I've personally recommended this book to several friends and family members, something I almost never do. The only real drawback to this book is the lack of an index, so it was sometimes difficult to go back to find something I was looking for. Nevertheless, that's hardly anything to get upset about. I wholeheartedly recommend this book and believe the $19.99 it is retailing for is quite a bargain. Go out and buy it at once.

Dear Ms. Lattimore,

On behalf of everyone at Murray Consulting, thank you for the speech you gave on Friday afternoon. I learned a great deal, and you inspired me to find a bookstore so that I could purchase your newest work as soon as I left the office in the evening. I spoke with several of my colleagues, and they were impressed with the advice you provided in your speech. They also appreciated your accepting their invitation to go out for dinner afterward and your being so gracious in taking the time to answer everyone’s questions. I wonder if you would be interested in returning around six months from now and speaking about another topic. I know you have given many talks in the past, so perhaps you could suggest a new subject to discuss. When you have the opportunity, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Charles Murray

Owner, Murray Consulting
