Attention Late Bloomers: You're Right on Time

If you feel that there are areas of your life where you haven't bloomed yet, and you have a good sense of humor, then this book of advice, techniques, anecdotes, and applied common sense is for you! After a near-death experience in 1976, author Jerry Posner set upon a lifelong quest to learn and practice ways to become a more positive, growth-oriented, productive and, well, happier person. He takes a practical, open-minded, and fun approach to self-improvement and self-mastery.  Attention Late Bloomers: You're Right On Time! is packed with short, entertaining, thought-provoking chapters designed to assist the reader in developing and maintaining the focus, awareness, choices, and habits that lead to personal and professional success.  Part memoir, part workbook, and with a bit of "novelty writing" thrown in for fun, you'll get some great ideas that you can use right away ... and some chuckles, too! Posner is an engaging speaker, writer, customer service trainer, and ukulele player.  After working in radio (including program director of an all-comedy station near Los Angeles in the 80s), he and his partners published the Positive Times Journal in the 90s.  He's been a popular guest lecturer at Canyon Ranch in Lenox MA since 1993, presenting programs such as "Ways To Create Miracles In Your Life", "Practicing the Practical Power of Gratitude", and "Ways To Make 'The Butterfly Effect' Work For You."  A New Jersey native currently living in Western Massachusetts, he graduated magna cum laude from Emerson College with a degree in Mass Communications.

5Not just for "late bloomers"  Nov 17, 2006
By L. Okeefe
Love this book! More fun to read than other self-improvment books, accessable and enjoyable. I believe this book will really be a help in achieving my goals. I'd recommend it, not only to late bloomers, but to anyone with a sense of humor and desire to grow.

5A wonderfully refreshing self-help book.  May 09, 2007
By Jayne Church "happyperson"
This book is really a how-to manual on how to live the life you want to live. No mumbo-jumbo, just real, hands-on, instructions including fun(!!) "homework". If you read this book, and do the (painless, fun, entertaining) work, your life will improve. Period. Guaranteed.

5Just add humor and watch your garden grow!  Dec 01, 2006
By Victoria Wright "BookmarkServices.net"
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must say that Jerry hired me to edit this book. So I have read it carefully, and repeatedly. And, I am not particularly a fan of so called "self-improvement" or "new age" type products. Be that as it may ... I love this book! As advertised, it is not your normal self-help book. It is bouncy and funny and joyful, and as if that weren't reason enough to buy it, there is truth contained herein. It will take root in your head and you'll find yourself seeing your world in a new way. Relax and enjoy.

5Attention Late Bloomers: You're Right on Time  Jan 09, 2011
By david starfield
My wife bought this book after we heard the author speak and, before she had the chance to read it, I asked if I might look at it. I have read the book each night since, but will "return" it to her "soon," even though the pages are highlighted and marked. Posner's book about positive thinking is eminently practical. Posner offers tips to enable each of us to make better choices, by incorportaing a consciousness of gratitude, peace and kindness. The author belives the key is to write down your thougths and ideas daily - each day - and that by doing so, one's outloook brightens and the daily stresses we all face become easier to manage. Posner is a very funny writer and the books "reads" as is if he were speaking to you. Highly recommended.
