Balancing It All: My Story Of Juggling Priorities And Purpose (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
If you are looking for a book with pointers on how to balance your life this isn't it. I grew up watching Full House, but had no idea this was written by someone from the show. However, you quickly figure that out as the book is just a story of her childhood and life in show business as a child...mixed with a bible verse every few pages. I get it, she's religious and a child star, but that isn't what I thought I was getting ready to read. I don't care enough to learn celeb names, so I dropped this part way through and started skimming to see the entire book was more of the same. There never seems to be a time when she says how she balance life, just that God helps her do it. ...that's not helpful, honey. I picked this book up as a daily deal one day for my Kindle. I was expecting a typical self-help organizing book with checklists, anecdotes and maybe a few recipes thrown in. Instead it was a very thoughtful and philosophical discussion of what life's priorities should be and how, when you properly prioritize, everything falls into place. It was also partly autobiographical which I found interesting since Candace was a Hollywood child star who now is atypically grounded, conservative and family oriented. She relies heavily on biblical principles and even has very specific bible citations to support her approach. She does this without a heavy hand and with an understanding that her readers may all live very different and diverse lifestyles. I've followed her on social media for a while and always found her to be likable and I thought her book was enjoyable and promoted a healthy lifestyle in all ways -- physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
