How about adding “Figure out how to find the time to figure out all these things” to the list? Sheesh, Oprah. I try to only read O mag when I’m on an airplane headed off to vacation, because at least my mind’s already set on leaving reality completely for a spell. Ah, if only we all had an empire like hers…

This is hysterical. This is precisely why I don’t read O (or at least I tell people I don’t read it.) Do I honestly need monthly reminders of my failings? I think not.

Grecian tragedy? What, is Britney prematurely gray now too?

If you have time to read a magazine then I think I think your life is pretty sorted.

Those are beautiful holistic goals. I haven’t made it through the whole magazine yet, so thanks for your insight and speeding me ahead.

Is reflexively even a word?

Suddenly I feel very tired.

As to Point One: See Point Two.
As to Point Two: See Points Eight, Nine, and Ten.
As to Point Three: Meatless Tacos?! Â¿Por que?
As to Point Four: If you are trying to adhere to Points Two, Eight, Nine, and Ten, money should be a moot point. riches never made a sunset more breathtaking, nor will it make the smile on Hank’s face any more heartwarming. Consider that the subject of Point Five has far more money than any reasonable person should ever need and yet, …
As to Point Six: Giving any thought to Points Five and Seven would most likely be the biggest regrets one might have except spending to many hours at the office, and not trying to stick to Points Two, Eight, Nine, and Ten.

The hell with O and her suggestions. I never trust a person that lets Tom Cruise jump up and down on their couch, or has more dogs than hands to pet those dogs.

Wow. Heather, what a nice review! Your post got at exactly what I was trying to do and say with the book. Thank you so much.

I am so happy to know that someone else feels this way about O. I have picked it up I don’t know how many times because of the tempting bylines on the cover and I am almost always disappointed by the short, vague articles and lack of useful information on HOW to achieve just about anything they advise or suggest for us ladies to make our lives more fulfilling and complete.

Just, THANK YOU!!

Huh. Maybe pick one and call it a year?

Except for that Yves meatless one. I like how almost everyone has commented on that one since, you know, it’s actually possible. We’re not seeing anyone write in with, “Oh hey! Tried that ‘designing my life for joy’ thing and it was so greeaat! Mom tried it too–loved it!”

I guess it’s good we know our limits.
