Review

Forget the life of perfect balance--it only exists in magazine articles, according to the fairy godmother of self-nurturing, Jennifer Louden. Instead, Louden shows readers how to get a life of meaning. In a flight of whimsy, Louden decided to write this book as if she were in dialogue with her "inner feminine voice"--the wisecracking "Comfort Queen", who sounds like an honorary member of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. The queen's tell-it-like-it-is lessons appear in every chapter, such as "Mindful Listening", "Glass Half Full" and "Fierce Desire". When Louden enters the dark night of the soul--a self-doubting spiritual crisis--she turns to the Comfort Queen, who helps Louden ask herself (and the readers) the right questions. Like the Sufi poet Rumi once said, it is not the answers that offer a life of meaning, it is living the questions. Louden understands this truth, and has created a humble, tea-cosy book of questions with just a few lumps of sugary advice. The downside to this loving book is the simultaneous launch of a complete line of cute "Comfort Queen" products, which weakens the integrity of Louden's influential work. --Gail Hudson
