This is the first poetry anthology designed expressly for the self-help generation. The poems listed include classics by Emily Dickinson, Lord Byron, Ogden Nash, and Lucretius, to name just a few, along with newer works by such current practitioners as Seamus Heaney and Wendy Cope. This book has a cure or consolation for nearly every affliction, ancient or modern. And no side effects-except pleasure.

Nice little book
In less good condition than I'd hoped for as was meant for a gift.

Go to book
This is a favourite companion for life. Whatever the situation, there is a poem here to comfort, shed some light or make you laugh. Daisy is a great champion of poetry.

Poems for all occasions
I was delighted by the pristine condition of my book which arrived very quickly.The poems themselves are quite a mixed bag. I chose it after reading a 'rave' review in a magazine and so I was probably a bit unrealistic in my expectations. The book is quite small and short and I read it easily in one sitting. There are some old favourites and some new ones which I liked and will certainly revisit. Having paid very little ,including postage I was surprised by some prices for it on the internet - probably my confusion! If you are able to purchase at the bargain price which I found then I would certainly recommend it.

Simple and intricate
This was recommended to me by a counselor who doesn't usually recommend too many books to clients. She obviously knew there was content that would be of use to me and there was - depth of understanding on relationships inc family, partners etc. I would highly recommend this book of relatively short poems to anyone needing clarification, reassurance, understanding...on their journey of discovery.

Not life changing
Was a bit disappointed as the book came highly recommended and life changing. Good enough and some memorable poems but nothing earth shattering. Lots of very popular and familiar works. I had hoped for more originality.
