Kirkus Reviews Book Review for: Alphabet Advice for Adults
"The 26 characters of the English language serve as springboards for life advice in this debut self-help guide.
In a brief introduction, Hayman sets forth this collection's mission: "Each letter of the alphabet has words of wisdom to share, assembled in diverse writing sytles designed to give you, the reader, a morale boost and an extra dose of motivation to take steps toward improving your qaulity of life. " The contemplations that follow have headings ranging from "Awareness" to "To Zenith and Beyond," with essays, poetry and what the author terms "visual guided imagery" to offer insights into a more mindful, fulfilling existence. Sometimes a letter stands for a key word within the title: "Coming Home", for example, stands for "H" in this alphabetically organized book, with a four-paragraph essay on remaining grounded. Some letters merit repeating, with "O" for example, inspriring two entries: "Overcoming Obstacles", offering the advice to "search deep within yourself to find those abililties that will serve you well in the future, " and "Obligation means Commitment," a two-and-half musing that concludes, "To be kind
to
others
is not a choice, it's a must."
Hayman has created a charming "concept album" of a book that offers gentle, encouraging prompts for a proactive approach to self-improvement.
Expressive exercises that provide an array of motivational pointers." -
Kirkus Reviews
Books are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 meaning “needs improvement” and 5 meaning “outstanding”. This scale is strictly to provide a point of reference, it is not a cumulative score and does not reflect ranking. Our system only recognizes numerals during this portion of logging evaluations. As a result, a “0” is used in place of “N/A” when the particular portion of the evaluation simply does not apply to the particular entry, based on the entry genre. For example, a book of poetry or a how to manual, would not necessarily have a “Plot and Story Appeal and may therefore receive a “0”.
