Do As I Say, Not As I Did: Perfect Advice from an Imperfect - Hardcover

Revisit decisions. Fight the compulsion to be perfect. Note the difference between power and control. There are no unimportant people. When a superior asks you for your "honest opinion," don't give it. Do the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reasons...
Wendy Reid Crisp wanted to call this book Don't Look Back: Learning A Lot From Lot's Wife, but then she revisited that decision, took a long look back at her own journey, and learned a lot more. As she says, "Now I want my daughter - and my stepdaughter and my daughter-in-law - to profit from the lessons I have learned. I want their lives to be interesting, rewarding, and full of delight. I want to put my arms around them and protect them from pain and loneliness and fear and things that go bump - even in the daytime when they're least expecting it. But they won't let me. So I had to write this book."
Do As I Say, Not As I Did is not just for her own daughters, but daughters - and mothers - everywhere. As Wendy reminds us, success may indeed be a race, but it's not an individual event, it's a relay.

Wendy Reid Crisp is the former editor-in-chief of Savvy magazine.
