[b]from [i][b]library journal[/i][/b][/b]
in her latest work, stoddard (e.g., living a beautiful life, lj 10/15/86) tackles perfectionism with aplomb. elegantly and simply narrating her message, stoddard offers a personal, anecdotal story that explains the need for balance in living an easier, happier life. perfectionism is symptomatic of a life out of balance, according to stoddard, and it doesn''t mix well with parenting. she stresses the need for play and personal time to remain centered and separate from a busy work schedule. on each page her journalistic style is augmented by special quotes, and eloquent chapters on love, healing, and death are inspirational. recommended for public libraries where stoddard''s other works are popular.
