April Fools Day seems like a good day to review this book and not because it was bad. Quite the opposite, in fact I enjoyed it very much and it was free! You can download the PDF version here or you can download it free to your reader at barnsandnoble.com. The reason I think this is a good day for this review is that so many of us are fools for letting our frogs boil! Let me explain.The author, Dr. Richard Madow, uses the old tale of cooking a frog to help us see that often our own circumstances may in fact be cooking us slowly. You remember the story of putting a frog in a pot of room temperature water and by increments turning up the heat. As the frog adjusts to the temperature he won't jump out but will in fact let himself be cooked. Whereas if you were to throw him in already boiling water he will immediately jump out. I read a lot of books on self help topics and most are filled with technical jargon, methodologies and psycho-babble. This book is a gem. It is simple, humorous, well written and applicable to all of us. In short, if you are at a place in your life where you are questioning your circumstances, this book delivers.
