Book Review of 29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life

29 Gifts: How a Month of Giving Can Change Your Life
reviewed on + 26 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


Of the 29 gifts, at least 20 were "pay and walk away" kinds of gifts. If you really want to change a life: share yourself, share your time, share your experiences. The author was so wrapped up in her own poor-pitiful-me brokenness that, even on the 29th day, it still seemed to be all about her. Also, wayyyyyyy too much woo-woo in the book for my sensibilities. If you buy/read the book, skip her 29 gifts and go to the end of the book or go to the blog where others shared their experiences.
Bottom line: good idea, bad book.
