Features & Highlights

  • Bethenny Frankel's no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is personality won over countless fans, and made her a nationally bestselling author and the star of her own hit Bravo show
  • Bethenny Getting Married?
  • Now Bethenny opens up and shares the obstacles she overcame and the great success she has enjoyed while discovering how to approach life from “A Place of Yes.” Bethenny’s path was not always clear as she overcame a difficult childhood, failed relationships, entrepreneurial efforts that never quite got off the ground, and lifelong money struggles. To deal with these challenges, Bethenny developed ten rules for pursuing her goals with authenticity and drive, including:
  • * Find your truth: Dig deep inside and figure out what is authentic for you, not anybody else.
  • * Act on it: You don’t have to have a master plan. But unless you do something, you’ve done nothing.
  • * Everything's your business: Treat every job, person, and experience as if it could lead to your next big opportunity.
  • * Own it: If you do it, say it, think it—then own it. Stand up for yourself and fully acknowledge who you really are.
  • Each rule is illustrated with compelling, sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous examples that are pure Bethenny. It’s easy to say no, to say “I can’t,” to expect the worst, and to doubt yourself. But your life can be better than “not bad” or “good enough.” It can be amazing. And by putting Bethenny’s rules together, you can use them to be more successful, more fulfilled, healthier, and happier than ever before.

"A Place of Yes" Could Help Change Your Life

Having read Bethenny's two previous books and really benefitted from them, I was really looking forward to this one. "A Place of Yes" did not disappoint. Some of us need a reminder that we're not crazy or strange, and in this book Bethenny does that and more. She's the the girlfriend you most identify with, the sister you wish you had. If you grew up in a stable household and are still happily married to your high school boyfriend, this might not the book for you. But if your family is nuts (like mine), or you've ever felt lost or you want more out of life, Bethenny's honesty in telling her own story rubs off on you and you can't help but feel better knowing that someone just like you has picked herself up again and again (and vows to do so for the rest of her life) and is glad she did. I use suggestions from this book and her others every day (I lost 40 pounds after I read "Naturally Thin" and have kept it off for more than a year). I think back to her words often, especially when I need that push to accomplish a goal or stay on track. She's changed my life. Give her a chance, maybe she'll change yours. Also take a look at:

An inspiration! Funny, encouraging, great life advice!

I cannot say enough good things about this book. I'm not sure if its because I'm a struggling and confused 20-something that makes this book resonate with me so much, or if its because I've always been a huge Bethenny Frankel fan- but this book is fantastic!

Bethenny is so relatable and honest, you can't help but feel like she's talking right to you. In a way this book is very motivational, you feel like she's your best friend and coach at the same time- giving you hope and courage that you can go out to succeed at pursuing your dreams whatever they may be. She talks about her past and how she got to where she is. But she really tries to focus on her reader because it feels like she's in your corner the whole time, cheering you on to keep going and make good choices for success.

I love all the 10 Rules she gives. They seem simple on the surface, but they actually dig pretty deep if you apply them to your own life. If you're a fan of the Real Housewives or her own show you will love the behind the scenes stories to her life that don't get to come out in the short interviews on TV.

If you just need a boost of encouragement and want something entertaining and enlightening to read- this is it! I'm so happy for Bethenny's success! She's a role model for women everywhere- I definitely look up to her and think she's a businesswoman I'd want to emulate. I will always be rooting for her. She definitely hit a home run with this book! She put her heart and soul into it- and it shows.

You need to Own IT!

I realy enjoyed this book and Bethenny's story. I watch her show, and she is very endearing because of her honesty. If you like people who come from a place of realness then this book will resonate with you. If you are wrapped up in a "story" and trying to be someone you are not, then the book might rub you the wrong way - OR it might just allow you to stop the noise and be real too.
One of the Chapter's of the book is about Owning It... it being your life and your mistakes along the way... I say that you should also own this book. Just click away and buy it folks!

Loved it.

Enjoyed the story of her life and what she has had to accomplish to get where she is today. The 10 rules pertain to us all and easy to work with. There was one little quip in the book that evens gives a pointer to help with implementing the rules.

Inspiring and REAL

Bethenny Frankel continues to amaze me with her down-to-earth views and realistic situations that leave most of us out of breath. Well, they leave her out of breath too but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to handle herself.

This book provides that "light at the end of the tunnel" to conquer many of life's greatest challenges from motherhood, to daughterhood, to wifehood, to professionalhood.

I really enjoyed Bethenny's sense of humor throughout all and really reminded me to stay positive and happy and calm whenever life was at its most stressful. Also, she reminded me that it's OKAY not to be "normal" and be proud of who I am. We all only get one life: make it worth it.

I continue to adore this woman...well done, Bethenny!
