A simple, enjoyable show. If you like generally heartwarming television and beautiful scenery (mountains of Alberta, Canada), you'll enjoy this show. I don't even really like horses (I'm actually a bit afraid of them), but I respect the love other people have for them, and that's something that certainly comes through in this show.

Absolutely loved this book (well, it's 3 books in one, made up of the author's newsletters). The ideas are great! I finally realized I needed to just take notes as I went since I'd used up every little scrap of paper in the house to bookmark the ideas I wanted to save. She includes simple and creative ideas for saving money, living a more healthful and happy life, and making a lower environmental impact (as these things so often go hand in hand). Some of her ideas may be more extreme (or time consuming) than what you're willing to do, but you will certainly find tons of simple-to-apply concepts and recipes.

We are already living a very cheapskate lifestyle, so many of the ideas in this were not new to us at all, but Yeager's writing style was so humorous that we both ended up really enjoying this book. It also helped crystalize for us some of the thoughts/behaviors we had towards money that we hadn't really thought about consciously. We even ended up purchasing (I know, not very cheapskate of us) a few for family so they'd understand the way we are a little better. Definitely recommend if you're thinking about trying to live better while saving more (and be happier throughout).

With a "how to" book like this, you certainly need plenty of helpful pictures. This seems to have enough that you can follow what they mean - at least well enough that we've been able to cut our own family's hair for the last 2 years.

I do corporate training as well as tutoring, so I'm always looking for new material on topics like efficiency and avoiding procrastination. If you've read a lot of material along these lines, this book is written at too basic a level for you. But if you haven't, this book is a very quick, easy-to-read introduction to several well-tested principles of time management. The ideas are straightforward - the hardest part is just getting into the habit of applying them consistently.

One thing I did dislike about this book was the very large number of statements that were written as fact ("You're 20 times more likely to...") without any indication of the source for that statistic.
