Thanks so much for taking a moment to check out Making Life Better! The book has been out for several months now and I'm very excited (and grateful!) for the overwhelming positive response. On this page, I've compiled everything currently available (to my knowledge) to give you a real taste of the book. 

  • The reviews are beginning to pop all over and I will keep updating these as they appear. 
  • There are lots free previews (Table of Contents, Excepts, Video Trailer and even the entire text of Chapter One "Well... Duh!")
  • And, of course, I've included several ways to order your copy today, either online or through a local/independent book seller near you. 
  • I've also included an interview where I answer questions about why I wrote this book, what I believe makes this book unique and what I hope readers take away from it. 

So, take a look. Poke around. Get a feel for it. Enjoy!

Here's What People Are Saying (Reviews)

  • "One of the Best Self Help Books on Amazon.Com... I cannot diminish its value by merely calling it a self-help book...  It's a wonderful thing when an author can get your thoughts cranking and you start to believe that not only can you change your life, but you are actually doing it while reading the book.... " (Read the entire review by Joanna Ammons) 
  • Top Books Worth Reading! "To a readership grown weary of trying to awaken their focus via preachy diatribes and dull “busy work”, James offers a refreshing, earthbound viewpoint with an easy-to-follow map which should help even those with limited attention spans (like me) find their ways along the most rewarding of paths..."  (Read the entire review) 
  •  ",,, The writing is direct, the advice is succinct and easy to incorporate. I will not be loaning anyone this book because I want to be able to refer to it again and again. You will too. Truly one of the best self-help books I've ever seen. You definitely should purchase this book and it will be the last self-help book you ever buy... " (Read the entire review by Sharon Kinsella) 
  • "This is really what a self-help book should look like without really being a self-help book... so far from anything I’ve ever seen in a self-help book and is so plainly honest that you just can’t help but like it ... a feat only rarely achieved by authors who write something as intelligent as this..." (Read the entire review by Annie K. Johnson)
  • Great Advice For A Better Life - Highly Recommend, February 22, 2012 (read the complete review) ...  It's a well written and thoughtful book that really had a profound effect on me. The book is easy to read and follow. It's more like having a good friend give you advice rather than someone preaching at you. This is one of those books that you will come back to time and time again and pick up something new each time you read it.  
  • A Thought Provoking Read!, February 6, 2012 (read the complete review) ... This book is a must read ... I've read this book 3 times and each time I get something more from it ... I highly recommend it! 
  • Refreshing and Fulfilling!, January 28, 2012  (read the complete review)  ... I found it very entertaining and a good read. You'll close the book feeling refreshed and refueled!  
  • Eye opening ... Really struck a chord with me. Anyone who ever speaks with anyone throughout the course of the day should read this book... Carl Suvak, Cleveland, OH
  • Filled with incredible wisdom and wonderful humor.  Tara Greenway, New York, NY
  • Any book that opens with the words, "Well... Duh!" and closes with "Namaste" is my kind of book!  James Lillie, Chicago, IL

From the back cover:
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said, "A mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimensions." For a control freak like myself, this is no small matter.

Making Life Better is an invitation to own our part of our making and embrace our unique opportunities to make our lives better. It's about making our routine and daily choices of action, reaction, thought and feeling more profoundly connected to who we are, what we desire and what's most important to us. It's an invitation to turn off our auto-pilot setting and allow our sense of purpose, identity and direction to break into our lives with greater wisdom and clarity. It's a recognition that a meaningful, fulfilling and happy life is really nothing more (though certainly nothing less) than a very long series of meaningful, fulfilling and happy moments. How we experience each of those moments is always and completely within us.
