The following review of my new book, “Happy Tales” is by Midwest Book Review:
Critique: An inherently fascinating, deeply personal, deftly written true life adventure, “Happy Tales” is part memoir, part travelogue, and part self-help manual. Inspired and inspiring, “Happy Tales” is a life affirming and life enhancing read from beginning to end. While very highly recommended, especially for community library collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that “Happy Tales” is also available in a Kindle format ($3.99).
Synopsis: Diane de Mere enjoyed a ten year successful career as a professional corporate trainer and motivator. Despite her success she felt that something was missing. Instead of teaching about managing stress and making the most of life, De Mere found that she wanted to actually live it.
After deciding to practice what she taught, De Mere embarked on a mission to gain control of her own stress, while helping others follow in her path. She has now published the result in “Happy Tales: How to Manage Stress and Find Peace and Joy” which documents and illustrates her own personal journey. She peppers her account with stories of her rescued dogs, cats, and the wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, where she currently lives with her husband and companion animals on Whidbey island off the coast of Washington state.
