The ultimate meditation book, not to be grandiose... Take a hilarious, healing journey with Stuart Smalley as he careens down the road to Recovery. For one entire year Stuart recorded an affirmation a day...except when he had taken to his bed (but that's Okay)...and the result is the most entertaining and indispensable meditation book ever. From program wisdom (Denial Ain't Just a River in Egypt! December 1) to survival tips (When I Go Home to Visit My Family I Will Stay in a Motel! September 26) to some good sound practical advice (I am entitled to file for an Extension on my Income Taxes! April 15th), Stuart's affirmations will empower you! Work, Friendship, Love, Spirituality, Codependency, Self-Esteem, Acceptance...Stuart deals with it all. And as you share his ups and downs, his triumphs and shame spirals, you will come to see the ultimate truth of Stuart's March 21st affirmation: Today I Will Laugh--At Least Once!… (more)

While I don’t like the underlying message that the book gives about how to recover it is funny! So read it for that. Everything from Stuart’s story of his dad trying to take a family picture but getting Stuart hit by a car at the moment of the picture to his friend Julia’s numerous breakups with the same man (and a couple with other men) to meeting his ex on a plane (the ex is a flight attendant) are all funny. Especially if you have spent much time with people like Stuart Smalley. You aren’t laughing with him. You are laughing at him.

This is a silly book, but funny. Written "by" Stuart Smalley, a character on Saturday Night Live. There is actually some good stuff here, if you can get past the overly-sappy Smalley. (
