I read “Living Royally – Happiness and Success through Personal Management” with great interest, initially intrigued by the eye-catching title. There is, these days a great deal of market interest in books on personal development, purporting to take the process of self-betterment out of the hands of self-appointed and self-perpetuating hierarchies of ‘experts’, like psychologists, gurus, and so on, empowering the ordinary man and woman with the conceptual tools to help themselves to a better, more satisfying level of existence. This is an innovative and thought-provoking read, from start to finish. It gives the reader, in a practical, sincere and disarmingly frank fashion, a series of steps towards inner happiness. The author’s starting premise is that the bulk of personal unhappiness stems from the reluctance to take responsibility for our existences. She then proceeds to show how, with a course of concerted action, we can remedy this situation, how we can remodel ourselves into the people we would like to be. For all the implied extravagance of the title, this programme of self-enhancement is entirely practical, offering down to earth tips on subjects ranging from etiquette to career advancement. I was also impressed that the author eschews paternalism, encouraging the reader to tailor her advice to their individual case. Her method is essentially to set out the evidence, and to encourage the reader to test her propositions in the light of their own experience. As a result, the reader feels that whatever steps they are taking, they are taking for themselves. I made a mental resolution to put some of these suggestions into practise myself while reading the book, and, although it is too early to comment on their success, I was distinctly impressed. I feel it is a wonderful addition to the existing literature within this field, because it takes such a novel, formidably comprehensive approach to the subject. I have no hesitation, therefore, in recommending this excellent book – I will be buying several as Christmas presents!
