I was suprized how insightful this book really was. It has a lot of daily things to help improve the way you look at life! Terry has quite a humorous way of looking at things and this book really shows her personality. I would give it a 8 on the scale! I actually wrote down and use four things from this book that are very helpful!!!

I never really knew a whole lot about Teri Hatcher, but for some reason this book seemed intriguing. I actually did enjoy this book and found some of her philosophies to be pretty useful. Quick read, but interesting.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked up this book. I always thought Teri Hatcher a woman who had it all- looks, money, career. I never would have believed that she has the same insecurities I have- she's a real person. So many of her chapters dealt with issues I have known my entire life and I can really respect the way she has dealt with them. I found myself taking notes to remember key things so that maybe I could make them work for me. Reading this book has made me realize that I have been eating "Burnt Toast" my entire life - as has my mother - and just maybe there is something I can do to prevent my daughter from eating it as well. I am going to make sure she (my daughter) reads this book - and tell her to take a few notes too!

I really enjoyed reading Teri Hatcher's view on the life of a woman. Although we all know she is a celebrity, she does have some good, down to earth advice. It's a book I'll keep on my shelf!

I loved this book! It was down to earth and full of hilarious little events.
It made me remember that she's just a normal person, not always the movie star.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a light-hearted read.

This girl is a scatterbrain, no question! Filled with lots of fun (and not so fun) anecdotes from Teri's life, I'm not sure this book knows what it wants to be. It's part self-help, part biography, part advice column...and lots of rambling.

The rambling was funny because it reminded me of my grandmother. She could start of telling one story, go on 20 different tangents, and somehow work her way back to the original story! But man, was it hard to keep up with her sometimes!

Overall, an interesting journey, but certainly not the best written/edited book I've ever encountered.
