Review by Debbie Overton

Author Patti Digh (Life is a Verb) takes the issues of our busy days and proves that rather than “solving” a complexity with another complexity, the answer may well lie in simple actions. 

Four-Word Self-Helpshows you that life is simpler than we try to make it.  Reflecting on the power of words, Patti introduces twelve hot-button "issues" - each addressed by wise and witty four-word missives.  Each of these four-word phrases are illustrated by artists from around the world in this little 5 x 7" book filled page after page of Simple Wisdom for Complex Lives.  It is an absolute must for anyone that could use just a little bit of help and inspiration.

do work that matters, keep fresh flowers nearby, do what you can, know what excites you, leave some things undone

This little book would make a perfect gift for yourself or someone special in your life.  The book is due in stores in September or you can pre-order it here or by clicking on the book cover.
