Kirkus Discoveries - "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once" Review

A man shares the wisdom and inspiration he’s collected throughout his life.

Anthony doesn’t just file away bits of insight whenever he happens upon them; he seeks them out, initiating conversations with other people about life and their own experiences and outlook. In this collection of short essays, the author shares these ideas and stories and what they have meant to him, in hopes that they will inspire others. He argues that successful people largely create their own luck by how they respond to the circumstances around them. Conversely, those who feel that only bad things happen to them help fulfill their own prophecy through their attitude and expectations. Though he was deeply grieved by his mother’s death, the author decided to write this book to work through that pain, to turn that experience into something positive and to help others find better ways to respond to life’s challenges. He asserts that one can begin to change his or her life simply by altering how one looks at each day—as a grind or as an opportunity. He urges readers to appreciate the time they have and to make the most of it by improving themselves and helping others to do so as well. Many of his discussions are illustrated by stories in which he learned something new from someone in his daily life, or he attempted to turn someone around toward a more positive outlook. The essays are interspersed with poems, which offer more emotionally charged meditations on similar themes. He concludes with slightly more stern chapters, addressing how many people approach self-help books as quick fixes, arguing that changing one’s life requires a constant commitment. An outgrowth of his website, SomethingToShare.com, this succeeds because the author’s advice is directly derived from his own experience. Some may perceive his values as old-fashioned, however, particularly those about children and parenting.

Words to live by.

It is a little of everything, wisdom, lessons, guidance, insight and spiritual enrichment. It is meant to be read over, to sit down for a quiet moment of inspiration, to grasp new meaning or to refresh your thoughts. - Amazon.com Reviewer

There are hundreds of books devoted to spiritual enrichment that are often quite dull usually digressing with a great deal of repetition and "mumbo jumbo." What sets D Anthony apart is his snappy, entertaining prose style, bolstered by his poetry and sincere guidance. - Bookpleasures.com

By writing the book in this easy-to-read format, Anthony has made it simple for the reader to explore their passions, emerge victorious from their sorrows, and find the winner within.

I have wanted to provide my feedback on this for a while now but words just do not express the feeling I received while reading this book. I didn't want it to end. I started reading this book while going through the most difficult time of my life. This book has taught me to invest in myself and to be my own best cheerleader. - Review Posted at Book Website, STSTheBook.com

Delightful common sense book

I must confess up front that I am not particularly fond of the genre of motivational and enlightenment books, but as I picked this up I was willing to be surprised, and I have to confess that I was, and pleasantly so. This is a lovely and delightful little book of simple philosophy, or perhaps put another way, a confident presentation of positive ways to reflect on and ultimately live your life.

What it really offers is common sense with 2 focuses:

(i) have a positive attitude and

(ii) live life to the fullest

I particularly liked the affirmation at the beginning of the book about appreciating every day, and throughout the book there are words of wisdom that cannot be refuted. The author's own examples of where life has taken him and how he faces its challenges and obstacles is interesting and entertaining.

However, if I have a criticism, it's simply that taken in one reading, as I did, it really is a little too much and after a while the message begins to get lost.

If you buy this book, and it is a worthwhile purchase, use it as something that you dip into when you are looking for a boost or affirmation. It is indeed heart warming, and even though it is not a large format book it would make a nice book to leave on your coffee table or in a reception area. The title alone will make people pick it up, and there is certainly enough within the covers to make for entertaining discussion or a little self reflection.
