Janet is one of the authors in this paperback book, available through Xlibris.com, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Janet’s chapter is called “Not Perfect, But Happy.” With humor and insight, she describes how you can exchange the inner critic, the one that whispers “you’re not good enough,” with the voice of your authentic self. Your authentic self is your champion, empowered by your love. In this chapter, Janet tells you how to observe yourself in a difficult moment, find the love within that moment and allow everything else to wash away, “like water under a bridge.”

A review of the book reads…“Drawing upon the new science of well-being and the psychology of women, twelve women coaches, therapists, and consultants share valuable insights about what women can do now to feel happier and more fulfilled in a world of competing demands for time, attention, and energy. Leveraging the principles of positive psychology, these experts provide inspiring examples and concrete strategies for helping women face their daily challenges and build more optimal lives at work, home, and play.” Topics include: juggling family and career, positive parenting, dealing with our “inner critic”, managing pain and suffering, finding inner wisdom, the power of using personal strengths, and discovering our own gateways to happiness.
