Do PLATITUDES & cliches bother you? Tired of listening to those overused words OR do you want to break the habit of repeating other people's false, so called wisdom? Either way, PLATITUDES: YOU ARE NOT ME! is the ideal book to read. Do you want to scream, wear earmuffs when you hear: "It could be worse!" Yes, but it is not helping my beastly headache. YOU ARE NOT ME! "It is a matter of willpower." How do you know? YOU ARE NOT ME! "You should, You must." STOP, THINK...YOU ARE NOT ME! With a different approach in mind, the author starts with PLATITUDES she heard as a child in her native France. Her interviews with people who are the most targeted by PLATITUDES: the bereaved, disabled, sick & even a homicide case. Some are very touching & some sprinkled with humor. Instead of showering people with PLATITUDES, cliches, worn-out words, unasked advice, LISTEN. "A good ear is worth a thousand words." "An excellent book for anyone." - Roger Downey, Anchorman, KPHO-TV5 Phoenix, AZ. "This little book is a gem." - John McCormish, Little Professor Bookstore, Phoenix, AZ. "Her interviews are real eye-openers & so interesting, I read most of the book in one sitting." - Lurinda Schad, Ahwatukee News, Phoenix, AZ.Floyd, Maita is the author of 'Platitudes You Are Not Me!', published 1991 under ISBN 9780962059995 and ISBN 0962059994.
