Product Description
A collection of affirmations with attitude, Quickie Stickies is Karen Salmansohn at her sharpest and most unexpectedly inspirational. This unique package is a book of 100 sayings printed on Post-ups that can be-and are meant to be-stuck anywhere and everywhere, on the fridge, the computer, a boyfriend's briefcase, an office door, a bathroom mirror. Each is an aphorism to live by-not fatuous daily thoughts or recycled spiritual mumbo-jumbo, but sly street wit and wisdom. And each is wonderfully illustrated with retro colors and graphics. To wit: I'd rather be a role model than a supermodel, printed on the face of a bathroom scale. The only thing a gal can ever change in her man is maybe his wardrobe, next to a gingerbread man in a lime-green shirt. Live now. Procrastinate later, blinks a clock radio. On a Buddhist's shaved head: I have to let myself know what I know, you know? In bold black type on a field of chartreuse: Be a warrior, not a worrier. And, in a candy-colored collage with a cliff, the one that sums it all up: If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

Fun, Snarky and Inspirational! ( tdcloth )
I've received this as a gift and bought at a gift. The stickies are so much fun! The quotations and bits of advice are often tongue-in-cheek and at times sarcastic. They are true to their word, though, and give a great pick me up. It's fun to keep in the office, to brighten up a co-worker's day or make someone laugh.

What a great find! ( jwillia18 )
This is the best little resource - filled with pick-me up post-it notes! I sent this to someone who was having a bad day and when I saw it I wish I had ordered one for myself! The sayings and pictures are fun and the post-it style is great for surprising others by slipping one on someone's desk, in a lunch box, stuck to the coffee pot, to the steering wheel, etc. Yes, you could right little messages yourself- but you would miss out on the wit and images that these stickies provide!

playful and inspiring
After reading Ms Salmansohn's HOW TO BE HAPPY DAMMIT I saw this book of hers in a store and bought. Its lots of fun and motivating. You stick up the post its on your computer or refrigerator. It has ones like LIVE NOW. PROCRASTINATE LATER. with colorful graphics. I also love her site www.notsalmon.com. Kudos to Ms. Salmansohn for helping to make this world a happier place!

great gift to give others...and to give to yourself! ( ahsnyc )
I found this book first in a store and wound up reading it page by page without wanting to stop. It's filled with funny but ever so true wisdom that makes great inspiration and motivation. It's very cool how the pages pull out and then you can stick them up places to remind you of its affirmational messages. I wound up buying one for me...and one to give a friend as a gift...who also LOVED it! I now just ordered another to give as a gift. I absolutely recommend it...A favorite quickie stickie was the one that said THE GOOD NEWS: ONLY YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY. the bad news:ONLY YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY....and the graphic was two newspapers with these two different headlines. Which reminds me to mention...the art in this book was really well done...graphic and attention getting and fun.

 I Always Like What Karen Salmansohn Has to Say.
Her self-help style is just right for today: smaller gems for a fast-paced day with the right balance of humor and words that make you think for a few moments about yourself. They're not tired aphorisms in this book--they're new twists on the demons I find myself confronting all the time. I especially like the artist she teamed up with for this book. Her illustrations are bright and take the words a step further, and because of that, out of 100 "pick me ups" I have my favorites already. There's a sense of humor in the illustrations that I like a lot.
