“Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021 This reminded me of "Big Magic"; but I liked it better. I want to draw all of the characters from the book.”

“Passion Wisdom reads like a fictional story - light and easy, like checking in with one of your girls and hearing a life update. But the story is packed with clear, insightful moments - brought to you by the main character and her eclectic cast of friends and family. It's a book to read in a day and come back to again and again for years as a reminder of the essential things we humans all manage to forget. ”

“My favorite part. I realized I have a Wisdom Board and it’s time to listen closer. This gem from Passion Wisdom - “If you are interested in personal growth, you have come to the right place. Each woman in this group has different strengths and we all support each other when life gets tough. We believe every woman needs a Wisdom Board,". I whole heartedly agree!”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020 The author uses a fictional story to provide tips and strategies for being more productive, such as "create more than consume" and wisdom boards. It's a quick read that you may want to read all or part of it again later. The tips are good to know and can be used when needed. I received a free copy to review.”

“This book wasn't what I expected. You have to understand, I'm practically allergic to self help books. They absolutely bore me to tears, and I can't get through them no matter how much I want the information contained within their pages. But this one is different! It reads like a light novel. Each section highlights a different concept, which is put forth through the experience of a woman pulling herself out of crisis to discover her creative passion and needs. The suggestions on how to identify and pursue one's creative passions were insightful. As I read, I found myself thinking of my own creative passions, and how I might implement some of the ideas set forth in this story. The story itself flowed well. I read the book in only two sittings, ignoring other tasks because I was hooked. There were very minimal grammatical errors, and none distracted from the content. I'm simply one of those people who notices those things. I'd encourage anyone to read this book. I suspect I'll read it again at a later date, and I'll probably incorporate some of the ideas into my own life. K received a free copy if this book in exchange for my honest review.”

“Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016 I did not want to read this book because of the title and because I am an natural blonde. I find the "Dumb Blonde" phrase insulting. But the book was on a free promo, so I wanted to see what I expected to be insults about blondes. Instead I was very surprised to discover that this is an approach to life that is very intelligent! An incredibly well written book, the author delves into her life lessons of how she learnt how to ask questions, how she learned to become wise by listening and not judging. This author struggled through many painful times and experienced loss and grief, but she uses her wisdom to show us that something can be learned through every difficult season. I was very encouraged by the end of this book. It really caused me to look at myself and think about re-evaluating many difficult times in my life.”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016 I've known Jamie since she befriended me way back in the 10th grade and this book is ALL her, spunky, passionate, thoughtful, vulnerable and wise. Jamie details her own journey through trials/tribulations, as "middle-aged" adults, we often pause and take note of our experiences while processing what really matters to us. In doing so, we re-affirm our values, and find our courage to align our lives by them. Jamie has done this utilizing her spirituality and intellect, genuinely and creatively using age old wisdom in modern ways. She writes eloquently yet plainly, quickly engaging us in what promises to renew our own spirit! While she may be "pulling our weeds" here and there, it's only after asking if it's okay- say okay and read this book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and find the metaphors/acronyms/re-frames as something I can use personally and professionally as I help my own clients with their gardens- A worthy read!”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016 This is not the typical story. This is one that most people can relate to and once they hear a story that may parallel their own walk through this crazy life, they may find the power within themselves to face these challenges in a different way. Some of the keys to the dumb blonde approach is to be humble, still and thoughtful. In this life we travel through so quickly and we are in a society of instant everything. Instant happiness, instant decisions, instant love-I think society will be disappointed. Nothing worthwhile happens quickly! Be still, enjoy what is in front of you, and be patient in life. No one knows where our own journey will take us. This book is a straight forward, well written, and provides an example of everyone's adventure through life. I hope that this book will provide some words of wisdom to allow others to live their lives with hope.”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2016 Because of this book, I aspire to be dumb. By sharing pivotal personal experiences, Jamie D.J. Shepherd tells how the true definition of the word, so often seen by our society as negative or degrading, can be used for a surprisingly positive way to face the many challenges of life. It is an approach that people should pursue, and wise readers will do so. Useful reading for many audiences in addition to those wanting to grow personally. These would include business owners, entrepreneurs, family leaders, and those interested in religion, women's issues, health, or biographies.”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016 Jamie has easy to follow advice for life struggles that affect many of us. By using her personal life experiences to get her point across it makes for an entertaining, interesting and thought provoking read. She is definitely a real person on a real journey in life and I appreciate her transparency throughout the book. It made me take a look at my own “weed pulling” so I learned a few lessons along the way. Nice perspective on life’s issues!”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016 It's ironic, that this book is such a quick read, yet I find myself needing to take small bites and chew a lot. Jamie throws a LOT of provocative content and thoughtful material into this book. The initial concepts are easy to grasp, yet applying them personally may take a lifetime...definitely food for thought, refreshing, thinking outside the box.”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016 This book will change your way of thinking in both your personal & professional life! Currently life is exceptionally burdensome meeting everyone's expectations for what you should be doing/thinking/saying, whether or not it is correct. "The Dumb Blonde Approach" is a revolutionary dialogue that provides many thought-provoking ideas to upset our current version of who we are and what we do. Read this book and get ready to embrace your Super Powers!!”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016 I'll never use the words, "DUMB" or "STUPID" in the same way ever again. A great educational read, especially for those that are currently experiencing major life struggles. Superb in every way. Congratulations on a job well done. Yes...give us more...much more!”
