Review
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste whether it is personal or national. Underscoring the truth of this observation is "Peace, Love and Lemonade: A Recipe to Make Your Life Sweeter" by organizational development consultant, trainer, and keynote speaker Nancy Stampahar who uses her own life experiences to illustrate that every difficulty is an opportunity, every tough circumstance, if dealt with intelligence, optimism, and creativity, can prove to be instrumental in achieving something worthwhile in life. Using such real-life examples as her own mother, a single parent welfare mom, whose perseverance and hard work resulted in the earning of a law degree, her intellectually-disabled brother's personal courage, and herself having been a highschool dropout, demonstrate that Nancy has 'walked the walk' as well as having 'talked the talk'. Highly recommended reading that is as practical as it is inspiring, "Peace, Love and Lemonade: A Recipe to Make Your Life Sweeter" is a welcome addition to personal self-help, self-improvement reading lists. --Reviewer's Bookwatch, Margaret's Shelf

Peace, Love and Lemonade is a refreshingly, inspiring work for someone who is contemplating making life changes. The author, sharing her life experiences, lends significant credibility. While it does not profess to have the final answer, it certainly offers direction and hope. --Emil S. Trellis, M.D., Distinguished Life Fellow, APA

Though the book is packaged brightly, it is small enough to fit in your pocketbook or backpack or briefcase without making it feel cumbersome. You have heard the cliché, about smaller packages of dynamite can deliver a HUGE explosion or something to that effect? Well, Stampahar makes this more than just a self-help book; she delivers her poignant positive take on the old metaphor, When life hands you lemons, make lemonade, with a loud bang. Instead of utilizing the big technical words that most self-help writers seem to adore throwing in their instructions on how to make the best of your life, Stampahar, in using her on life experiences, keeps it simple, and shows how one can use practical, everyday applications to live a happy and fulfilling life. It is a good book to keep close by when you need a little pick-me-up, instead of using that 400 grams of sugar you grab that comes in a plastic bottle, or to keep in your bathroom for easy reading. --The Americus Times-Recorder, Becky Holland

Heartwarming book
Nancy Stampahar, in her book Peace, Love & Lemonade, offers the reader some tools to evaluate their own life and where it may be beneficial to make changes. It is a very quick read, and the first time through I recommend just reading it through and going back later to work on the exercises presented throughout. The author also does a good job of using her own personal experiences to illustrate the techniques.
