📷Dean Carlston5.0 out of 5 stars Rima Rudner did it again! Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023 Verified Purchase

How insightful this lady is and so personable too.  I read her  book "Choose to Be Happy" multiple times over the years and even bought  copies for a few dear friends when they were going through very trying  times.  When I saw that she wrote Aging-itis I could not wait to  get a copy.  Another home run from an author who is not afraid to tell  her story.  My big takeaway is if she can survive so can I (only I'm not  funny).  Rima, if you read this you are  COURAGE and a SURVIVOR and we  all can learn from you because ATTITUDE is everything!

This is an extraordinary book.  It was very helpful and  informative while at the same time keeping my attention due to its well  written and very witty content.  Rima Rudner takes a very serious  subject, addresses it and treats it  seriously while at the same time  keeping it very entertaining.  Her humor kept me laughing.  I highly  recommend this book to anyone who is aging and wants to make the most of  their life.  There are lots of great lessons to be learned here  and  the fact that one can laugh while learning is unique and life changing.

Now that Im getting older (53), I can look back at things and  laugh. You GOTTA laugh about it all or else be miserable and I  definitely don't want that. Rima finds the humor easily and I can  relate. I identified with similar scenarios she wrote about and I admit,  I laughed a lot and was touched by her honesty and even teared up in a  few places...Thanks for an easy read and a smile on my face :)

Psychology Today (Jen Kim)  

I'm partial to soul-mate books that teach women how to find their white night, prince charming or George Clooney look-a-like: Just follow these simple steps/rules which usually require us to be the complete antithesis of ourselves. ie: bitchy, unavailable and aloof.

I also like books about happiness-my favorite is Choose To Be Happy by Rima Rudner. Rudner is a regular woman, not a therapist, who has developed thoughtful insights and keys to finding true joy. She grew up with abusive parents, suffered various psychological, financial, and physical traumas, yet still managed to cultivate a lucrative career, fulfilling love life, and buy a house in the Pacific Palisades, which we all know is the true sign of happiness.

Is it weird that my favorite self-help book isn't written by an actual psychologist? It kind of makes sense. Rudner doesn't speak to me in esoteric psychological jargon nor does she attack me for what I am doing wrong with my life. Instead, she fills the pages with real, intuitive and sometimes painful anecdotes about her struggles and her victories. Reading her book feels like consulting a good friend, not a doctor prescribing what's wrong with you, which is what I usually feel after reading some self-help books .Suddenly I realized that the best self-help books don't necessarily have to be about self-help.

Rags 5.0 out of 5 stars Rima Rudner -" Choose to Be Happy" Verified 

Must bedtime reading every day Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2010.Verified Purchase I have read numerous books on personal development.  I found  Choose To Be Happy an excellent collection of ideas already published  and known at other sources.  The beauty of the book is that it is all in  one place.  And a practical guide.  For maximum benefit, one needs to  read the whole book, and then read five to ten pages every night before  sleeping.  It will do wonders to find Happiness.  It is a well thought  out and well written book.  I recommend to everyone and anyone making an  effort for personal development, seeking a happy and balanced life.
The  book brings in the idea of 15%.  Here is a 15% one. If one is able to  use only 15% of ideas put forth in the book, one's life will be 15 times  better.

After battling cancer 3 times over a period of 22 years, and  enduring a very difficult relationship recently, the most poignant  reading and message comes from Rima Rudner.  Straight forward, to the  point and really showing how to overcome the negativity in these areas  amongst life itself.  I've read all of the top "self help" gurus, from  Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Dale Carnegie et al. Rima lets you know how to  deal with life, today in 2008 and for the rest of your life Truly a must read!!

Makes a GREAT gift!  Love, love, love this book! I love this book so much, I have now purchased the Kindle  version, and have it with me on my iPad everywhere I go.  I bought the  print version several years ago following the death of my husband.  The  practical insights and strategies are common sense,  yet meaningful  great reminders to accept responsibility for your own well-being.  I  have given this book as a gift, and the recipient loved it every bit as  much as I did!

One of the best books on the topic I've read. The author clearly explains major design principles, teaches you how to apply them, and encourages individuality and innovation by designing your own home. I've read many interior design books and this is one of the best.
