Product Description

I am diva, hear me roar! A celebration of womanhood, IAMDIVA! is written by four women in different stages along the path to Divadom. Highly interactive, the book is structured as a year-long journey with weekly lessons, each beginning with an inspirational quote, and leads readers along the diva trail with playful, motivational, and educational essays. Chock full of trivia, 'Frivolous Diva Dos,' and charming line drawings, IAMDIVA! will help women to acknowledge where they get stuck or feel trapped in their lives, and teaches them to get in touch with their inner star as they learn to live life by their own rules-as a diva!

I adored this book. Each woman had their own divaness to share but it was Maureen who captured my fancy. That woman has got it going on, loved her authenticity.

TOTAL waste of time. I got this as a gift and didn't have to waste my own money on it, but only an extraordinarily clueless woman who has never watched television or read a magazine in her life would benefit. The suggestions are ridiculous (seriously, wear a tiara, call your girlfriends, fingerpaint with your feet) and some even borderline offensive. There's a section about being "cosmopolitan" that suggests things you can do to be French, Italian, etc. On the French page, one of the suggestions is to "skip the shower." On the Spanish one, it is "skip the underwear." These women have got to be NUTS.

If anyone ever calls me a diva again, so help me...

If "wear a tiara to the grocery store" is the type of advice you're looking for- you'll love this.

This book was a serious waste of time for any woman who has half a brain and half an ounce of self confidence. The authors actually suggest that wearing a tiara, taking luxurious baths, keeping dairies and cleaning out your closet is the key to becoming a "Diva," and the key to "rediscovering the passion, joy and fun in their lives." I am really amazed at how many women gave this book a good review. I would love to take a poll on the age group of women that read this book. This book was passed on to me from a friend who also thought it was a waste of time to read. My friend and I are both in agreement that there are far better "real" self help books out there for women than this one. The best part of the book were the illustrations so that is why it gets one star. Ladies, don't waste your time. If you need a self help book buy something written by a doctor or an expert - not four middle aged women who just underwent a mid-life crisis.

I'm one of those people who abhors women's/girl's magazines as they usually tend to be superficial. Also, I seem to be out of the target audience as I'm merely 18. I saw this book while on holiday in the US and found it really intriguing. I was immediately HOOKED.

It's humourous, witty, and full of fun. Sure, some of the advice isn't for everyone (I didn't pay much attention to the fashion bit) but a lot of it is just great common sense and good tips to cheer us up when we get too serious. I bought this as a gift for my closest friend, and she loved it. We now have a Diva thing between us.

This book ROCKS! :D
