Great Book Full of Good Ideas

Review Date: November 21, 2006

Reviewer: K. Keating, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

I bought this book and actually participated in the group workshop with the author. Basically, the book provides you with ideas of all sorts of things you might want to do to improve your life/better yourself/have some fun/etc. The excuses are kind of like Girl Scout badges, so to "earn" your excuse, you choose a few of the activities listed and do those. You could probably do this on your own, but it's much more fun with a group.

I choose to do four excuses: #19 Because I'm Game for Dating, #21 Because I Need a Little Peace and Spirituality, #23 Because I Need a Weekend (or Two) and #27 Because I'm a Closet Gourmet. And then within each of those excuses, I had lots of activities I could choose to do to complete the excuse.

With the dating one, you can do this for romantic dates or just platonic get-togethers with friends, which is what I did. I had to pick a bunch of activities from the list that sounded like fun and then make dates with friends to do them. For the Peace and Spirituality excuse, I attended a service at a different faith's church, I had a reading with a psychic and I learned to meditate. For the Weekend excuse, I checked out art exhibitions, community festivals and etc. that were going on in my area over the next few months, and then went to a couple on the weekends with friends. And finally, I tried the Gourmet excuse because I love food but hate to cook. I sampled some gourmet food at local restaurants, tried some new ethnic cuisine I probably wouldn't have otherwise tried and I took a couple cooking lessons with a friend.

I loved the book and really enjoyed working on the excuses. It was a great way to try new things, and it was a lot of fun, since I did almost all of my activities with my husband or with friends. I would highly recommend the book to anyone looking to try some new things or revisit some old hobbies in the company of some good friends!
