The Feel Good Life (Essays and Ruminations from a Woman on the Edge) Kindle Edition

Am I the only one who has moments where I’m fairly certain my head is about to explode from all the stress? And that it will be a turn for the better if it does? Unfortunately, it’s somewhat inconvenient to have your head explode, plus the resulting clean up is a serious time drain. What’s a better solution? Manipulating the world into bowing to your greatness, of course. Yes, okay, that’s a bit of a lofty goal, but if you give yourself enough attitude and shovel enough irreverence at all the grief life throws at you, you can actually manage to feel pretty damn good even when you’re getting pummeled. And quite frankly, we all deserve to feel like the goddesses we were born to be.

*Includes a forward by Olympic athlete Kara Goucher, one of the most inspiring people I know.

When Stephanie Rowe took a good look at her life she decided she didn't like the person she had become. Stephanie took charge to change the person she was into the person she wanted to be. The Feel Good Life is a collection of essays describing Stephanie's path of self-discovery. The inspirational essays show that if you put your mind to something you can do anything whether it be write the book of your dreams or run a marathon. This book is a must read for those who enjoy the work of Stephanie Rowe and want to get some incite into her life. It is also a great read for people trying to make changes in their life and need a little bit of encouragement.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Feel Good Life by Stephanie Rowe
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2011

This book shows us why our attitude to what happens to us is so important. The author has overcome some major setbacks and roadblocks in life and discovered some gems of wisdom along the way. As an artist myself, I found her experiences of self doubt about her writing and her insights into why this happens when we try to create very interesting and resonate. The chapter about setting oneself up for judgement by others and how to stop doing this was very helpful. This author writes with courage and an openess that is unusual and refreshing. This is a practical book that is fun to read. Buy it!

As I read 'The Feel Good Life' by Stephanie Rowe, I had moments of chill bumps because it was as if she was talking to me. Things she has gone through in her life were so similar to mine, it was quite a shock. Most importantly, it was the way she changed her outlook that had me totally engrossed in the collection of essays she has written. This is a definite read for pretty much everyone who has had life slap you down. Her don't give up attitude, humor and positive take on things made it such a pleasure to read. Thank you Stephanie, this was definitely a wake up call in my own life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone that thinks being happy is always around the next corner or out of reach
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011

This book is outside of Stephanie's normal genre, but both her writing experience and personal experience make this book a must-read. Being happy doesn't mean all your problems are solved or your stresses magically disappear, but this collection of essays allows the reader a different perspective on life, happiness, hope and handling the curve balls that sometimes hit us out of the blue. (or the completely expected ones that still knock us for a loop. ). I also recommend this book for those that tend not only to worry too much, but for people that realize sometimes the only thing holding them back from success & happiness is themselves.

Stephanie Rowe's books have always been some of my favorites. She's gone a whole new direction with "A Feel Good Life". The essays in Stephanie's latest offering are reflections on "a-ha" moments in her life. She's choosing happiness. She's giving us little ways, through her experiences, to help us make the choices to change our outlook too. Just reading the book was inspiring. Applying that inspiration to my life can only be positive. I highly recommend everyone read this book. Thanks, Stephanie!

5.0 out of 5 stars When you wake up and cannot find a reason to go on, this book opens the shades and brings in the sunshine...
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2014
I read this book at a time in my life when I had been literally slammed down by one of the deepest, darkest depressions I've ever experienced. Stephanie Rowe writes this from her heart as...well, a writer! However, the lessons she imparts are far from limited to a writer's perspectives alone, but rather touch deeply within our own hearts and trials as readers. One thing about depression: you never know how much or little you can accomplish on any given day. Stephanie formats this book in short, easy-to-absorb essays, that raise you up and infuse you with hope...I believe she does this with the full knowledge that sometimes in the darkness, we can only take one small thing at a time to manage. Stephanie is fully open with her readers about her struggles, writing in first-person throughout, which lends the feeling you are talking to your best friend about the trials of life over a hot cup of tea and an understanding heart. I found myself relating to her, crying with her, laughing with her, and cheering her on, throughout every trial she faced. There were times when things seemed so bad, all you could do was laugh or cry; Stephanie fills these essays with sunshine and laughter throughout, rather than surrendering to the darkness. She gently introduces issues that we all face daily, and then breaks them down, one by one, making the insurmountable suddenly possible to overcome. She does this through simple kind humanity, and many times humor. Suddenly, you are not alone in your struggles, and you realize that your perspective alone can be the difference between hiding under the covers, or powering through an experience and coming out the other side stronger and happier. You find the unquestionable truth in this book that happiness for YOU is not necessarily what it may be for others, and become ready to take that jump that brings you out of your daily funk, and suddenly into a quest to be truly who and what you are meant to be. I find myself going back to this book again and again as I live my life, needing Stephanie's special blend of genuine heart, happiness, and humor, to bring me back to myself, and to allow the sunshine to again bathe me in the power to move forward. Thank you, Ms. Rowe, for giving me a book that has acted as a companion and friend through even the roughest of times in my life, and helping me to live each day in a way that speaks to my OWN happiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulled-heart strings; Fantastic story
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2011
When I got the chance to read this story, I could not take my eyes from any word or emotion. This is the kind of story that tugs at your heart because of what the person went through, and how they have risen above all that inner and outer turmoil. I have had the please of reading Stephanie Rowe, and that this story can be added to my favorites, to always treasure and remember that your life is not worse or better then someone else! To see how even her grandmother changed her attitude, and at her age was like a flower blooming new in the Spring. While it did break my heart to read, it also made me aware that anyone can overcome anything they have learned while growing up.

If you get to read this story, I highly recommend this story to anyone and everyone. I know that I will be sharing this story with my friends to read and hope they receive something from that experience.
