Here is what people are saying about Michelle DeAngelis & Get a Life That Doesn't Suck:

  • [The book is] well organized, easy to follow, and strikes that hard-to-reach balance between spiritual language (which can come across as impractical) and real-world plain talk (which can ignore spiritual matters). Thanks for writing a book that has come to me at the right time.

  • I have been teaching middle school for 11 years, and I’m starting to really wonder where my joy has gone. Then I saw [Michelle] on The View from The Bay. I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the information on your book. I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me! I am going to get the book, and get going on my Joy project. I have so much to be grateful for, including you and your work, and I am so ready to make myself a priority. Hallelujah!

  • I just finished reading your book, in one sitting actually, I couldn't put it down. I love the idea of Joy Riding and it's a great feeling to know that I can control how I choose to feel about a bump in the road. Thanks so much. You have truly brightened my life.

  • [Get a Life That Doesn't Suck] has helped me see things in such a positive light, and given me techniques and motivation to get through so much that is going on in my life right now, as well as help cope with what has gone on in the years past that I have not quite let go of yet. [Michelle is] an amazing writer and this book has made a huge difference in my life and my future. [Michelle is] one of the rare authors that "tells it like it is".....not all of the scientific mumbo-jumbo, but "real person" talk...words like "nekked" and "phooey"...writing in ways REAL people can relate to, and adding in humor to give a smile in every chapter just when we seem to need it most.

  • I have to say that the entire time I was reading the book I kept saying to myself that EVERYONE should read this. I was thinking about how all my friends should read it. Every tip that Michelle gives in this book is so simple and so doable for everyone. Sometimes we don't realize that WE are, in fact, in control. We tend to blame everything that happens to us on anything but ourselves. This book really helps by suggesting simple, easy ways to be in control of our lives. For me, it helped clarify that I can live the life I want by simply adjusting the way I think. About a year ago, I started applying many of the things in Michelle's book on my own, by trying to be more connected and in the moment. When I started reading Get a Life That Doesn't Suck, it was like realizing that I was on the right path. It felt amazing and the best part is that I got a bunch of tips on how to be organized!

  • I wanted to let you know how much your book has inspired me. I'm a self-helf book reader from WAY back (my husband calls me the self-help queen), but no book has helped me practically immediately such as your yours. Most other books I read, put away, and never think about again. I plan on keeping your book right where I can get at it on a daily basis. I found it at a time in my life that I really needed it. Thanks so much for writing it. Also, not only was your book truly enlightening, it was HILARIOUS!
    -Kim, Santa Fe, MN

  • Thank you for your work in educating people about the "Gap." I heard you speak at the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce meeting and I have been thinking about the Gap principles ever since. As a matter of fact, your talk prompted my husband and I to talk about ways we could do more to grow our personal integrity. It was a direction changer that we both needed. Thank you.

  • During a recent trip, my mother was concerned about a visit to a friend who is dying of cancer. She was reading Get a Life That Doesn't Suck and focused on "Just Show Up." She put aside worries about what to say, what to do, and showed up! All bookstores should have it front and center right now!

  • Thank you for your book. I just bought it and I am really excited after just 4 pages! It is not the typical self-help book, which usually leave me feeling inadequate. The “Gap” is truly an Aha experience for me.
