Profound and thought provoking. The author delves right to the heart of this delicious journey starting with the introduction. Whatever Floats Your Boat is an insightful read, filled with pure honesty rarely seen in self-help books. Fareed (Warfield) asks several questions throughout this short but powerful book all designed to open the readers understanding of themselves in the context of everyday notions. She creatively uses the cruise ship theme to frame the reader's thoughts around the idea of life's journey. You owe it to yourself to take this trip...I did and I'm all the better for it.

I always enjoy reading books that offer positive, upbeat solutions to life's problems, both big a small. In Whatever Floats Your Boat, Donna Fareed succeeds in pointing the way to personal fulfillment without compromising values or beliefs. Too many "self-help" books nowadays suggest playing the depressing game of intimidation or one-upmanship to get ahead; thankfully, Fareed's book isn't one of them. Instead, her book is life-affirming and takes a healthier win-win approach to overcoming obstacles and setbacks. With all the turmoil around us and negativity in the news, Whatever Floats Your Boat is a welcome antidote that works.
