Deb Scott wants to tell the reader how to get a hold of her/his own experience to understand life. Her book is spaced with sentences for easy reading. One sentence understood means you are ready for the next one. Focus on one idea and internalize the thought before moving to the next idea. This book is not the usual self-help listing of problems and answers. The reading carries you along reaching maturity in one area by what you know and sets up the factors of wisdom for the next life experience. There is emotional growth with some tears and some laugh out loud times. The journey is open but demanding and the end brings a feeling of graduation. Been there and done that and ready for the next jump on the pole-vault. The book is a rewarding experience.

Deb Scott has provided a fresh perspective to an well-plowed field: empowerment. With wit, humor and extremely well-chosen quotes, she takes the reader through the tools needed to take control of their own life and find joy in doing so. “The Sky is Green and the Grass is Blue” is as clear and easy-to-follow as a 12-step program, but a lot more fun! Buy this book…you will love it!

With each chapter Deb Scott had me rethinking many aspects of my life. Some of the chapters start out with questions and end with exercises for you to answer pertaining to your life. I really liked this feature because I felt that it put many of my current situations in retrospect. I was quickly able to take a look at my answerers and see some thing’s that I need to change or revamp in my life.

None of us is spared from pain, heartache, disappointment, or occasional bouts with depression throughout the course of our lives – but just because we get down doesn’t mean we have to stay down…

Such is the central message of The Sky Is Green And The Grass Is Blue, the powerfully inspiring new offering from author Deb Scott. Chronicling her own personal battles in overcoming depression, sexual abuse, religious doubts, and the tragic death of her mother, Scott provides readers with a host of helpful techniques they can employ to take on similar challenges in their own lives. Including everything from prayer to customized 12-step programs to volunteering your time in service to a worthy cause, The Sky Is Green features a wide range of practices designed to promote happier, healthier lifestyles. Further bolstering Scott’s comprehensive self-help manual are a series of written exercises specifically geared towards encouraging the reader to reflect on the particular areas of their lives that can be modified – or completely eliminated – in order to foster the elusive internal peace we all seek, but rarely find.

We are all plagued with everyday problems that affect our spiritual, emotional, and mental health, but the key to success lies not in trying to eliminate them – but rather thriving in the face of them. In light of that fact, The Sky Is Green And The Grass Is Blue is an invaluable tool to wresting control of our lives away from the storms that threaten to dampen our enjoyment of them. A thoroughly uplifting, highly recommended read.

I have just finished reading Deb Scott’s book “The Sky is Green and the Grass is Blue: Turning your upside down world right side up!” I have been a self-help book junkie for years and thought I had read it all. But, after reading Deb’s book I realized I had much more to learn. Sometimes we all get stuck in life with circumstances beyond our control and don’t know where to turn. We truly don’t know what we don’t know. Deb’s wonderful book is a clear roadmap of what the issues you may be dealing with are, and what steps you can take to do about getting out from under them. And it is all in one place too. With just enough humor and an engaging writing style that feels like you are talking to her in her livingroom, I found this book an easy read as well.

I’m someone who rarely reads “Self-Help” books. I’m fortunate -I guess. I don’t have any major issues. My childhood was wonderful and my family is great. So why did I buy, “The Sky is Green AND The Grass Is Blue. Turning Your Upside Down World Right Side Up!”? The answer, it came down to my commitment of wanting to make the most out of life. To learn everything about myself. To Grow. Stay inspired. And I’m glad I did!

Complements to the author, Deb Scott. “The Sky Is Green AND The Grass Is Blue”, is easy to read, insightful and a thoughtful book. I believe there is something in it for everyone, from the well adjusted to the downtrodden. Deb Scott has candidly shared a part of her life in hopes of improving the lives of others. And she achieved just that. Bravo.

If you are considering a self-help book -or any book- I believe, “The Sky Is Green and The Grass Is Blue” will motivate and inspire a change in your life. I sure did mine. Enjoy.

This review is from: The Sky is Green and the Grass is Blue: turning your upside down world right side up! (Hardcover)
Do you have problems in your life? Does it feel like your world is upside down? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you will definitely want to read, The Sky is Green and the Grass is Blue. Author and motivational consultant, Deb Scott, is no stranger to hardship. With extraordinary openess, she shares things that have helped her overcome her difficulties and have turned her upside down world right side up.

The tone of the book is very conversational. The reader almost feels as if he or she is sitting down with Deb, having a cup of coffee, and talking with her. The book is full of stories and quotes and analogies from everyday life that beautifully illustrate her points. She offers helpful advice that includes praying, 12 step programs (not just for alcohalics), tips for finding and determining if you have a “good” therapist, volunteering, and valuable resources (online and media) that can be used to help readers find blue skies and green grass. Another helpful tool that Ms. Scott includes is written exercises. Found throughout the book, these exercises are intended to help readers do some critical thinking and self-evaluation so that they can find themselves on the path to happiness.

The Sky is Green and The Grass is Blue is positive encouragement for people who feel that life is pulling them down. If your sky is green , and your grass is blue, then read this book. You won’t be disappointed!
