In this book there are a lot of useful phrases which will help you to have good psycho-physical state. Plus there are a lot of useful cook recipes. Davis is a speaker, entertainer and workshop leader. She is the author of other self-help books such as "The Law of Attraction in Action" and "Living With Intention."
But her latest effort may be too sweet for some readers.
Life — like pie — is about combining ingredients that aren't always pleasant on their own to create something to be savored, Davis argues.
"There is no 'perfect recipe' for designing your ideal life, only your preferred recipe for 'living it,'" she writes.
In each chapter, Davis weaves a mix of personal anecdotes and self-help tips with a heavy emphasis on positive psychology. She suggests using the benefits of laughter, friendship and mindfulness to get through life's rough patches.
Each subject has a themed recipe such as "Chocolate Meltdown Pie" and a heavy helping of food puns including a "slice of insight" and "bite by bite" tips for overcoming some of life's basic mental obstacles.
While Davis is familiar with life's challenges, such as illness, parenthood and death, she relies more heavily on lighthearted stories about speeding tickets, flip-flops and suburban challenges.
The stories are charming and the humor is pleasant, but may be too cloying in these tough times for many readers.
