Synopsis
We've got TV celebrities, radio celebrities, celebrity doctors, TV non-celebrities, 'experts', chefs and celebrity weather reporters all telling us how we can look and feel better and be more successful in every aspect of the little bit of life we've got left after ploughing through their endless (and usually conflicting) advice. "Infinite Ideas" introduces three new brilliant books, which cut a path through this jungle of self-congratulatory verbiage to get straight to some real-world ideas from people who've been there and done it - real people. These books are collections of the best advice from a range of specialist writers. And they come in an amazing package - 52 brilliant ideas in 256 pages of glorious colour. They are of unbeatable value!
Customer Reviews
Wow, they really weren't joking.
That title seemed a bit much to live up to: 'Best Value Ever'. But I'm addicted to Beauty books so risked the money. And to my surprise it is very good! It is NOT full of tired advice about lining lips and wearing vertical stripes to look thin. Instead it contains many tips with the distinctly 'psychological' bent of focussing on your self-confidence. And they approach that two ways: the first being that if you simply act confident you will automatically look and feel better. The second being that if you do things (such as wear the right clothes, care for your hair, fingernails and figure, exercise, eat right) to help you look and feel better than that will boost your confidence and you've got your virtuous circle going. I loved their attitude - not at all patronizing. And those tips really work! Each page I've flipped to has something useful and often unexpected, such as, exercises for waist-whittling but they also suggest a corset for instant results! Or, if some expensive cream you've bought doesn't seem to be working then 'have you read the instructions?' The world of 'Beauty' is full of the expensive AND ineffectual so I was so delighted and frankly astonished to find a book that was neither that I felt motivated to write a review!
