PRACTICALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY: MY MISADVENTURES THROUGH THE WORLD OF SELF-HELP—AND BACK: Jennifer Niesslein: G.P. Putnam’s Sons: Nonfiction: 343 pagesWhile watching Oprah one day, Jennifer Niesslein decides she’s not really as happy as she should be and embarks on a self-help journey, reading popular books on relationships, organization, health, and parenting and experimenting with the advice she finds on her family and friends.
This was an interesting read, but, because the book examines lifestyle choices and values, I sometimes strongly disagreed and struggled with the author’s point of view. Niesslein is usually fairly self-aware in her narration (recognizing that her readers might disagree with her take on things and seeing the things that influence her decisions), which is one of the strengths of the book. My head did start to spin, though, during her foray into money management.
