You might know Bethenny from “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart”, “The Real Housewives of New York” seasons 1, 2 or 3; her New York Times Best Selling book “Naturally Thin” (or “The Skinnygirl Dish”); her Bravo Reality TV shows “Bethenny Getting Married?” or “Bethenny Ever After”; or her famous Skinny Girl Margaritas. Or, there’s still a chance you might not know her at all. Nonetheless, Bethenny Frankel is a Reality TV Mogul and business woman (she recently sold the SkinnyGirl brand to Fortune Brands’ Beam Global) to be reckoned with. So it’s no surprise that her new book has great life lessons for everyone. Bethenny shares her experiences and wisdom in her very-real and authentic (no B.S.) voice. Because not everything needs to be learned the hard way.

“A PLACE of YES: 10 Rules for Getting Everything You Want Out of Life” guides you through Bethenny’s life story. Coming from a troubled childhood, jumping from man to man, dealing with money and eating issues – all to find the love of her life at age 38 – Jason Hoppy. The father of her child, husband, and business partner. Bethenny struggled with her career, body, self-esteem and love-life for most of her 20s and 30s, only to really find her stride (and then some) before recently turning 40. She credits her success to always “coming from a place of yes” – and breaks her life’s guidelines into 10 rules we can all follow: 1 – Break the chain; 2 – Find Your Truth; 3 – Act on It; 4 – Everything’s Your Business; 5 – All Roads Lead to Rome; 6 – Go For Yours; 7 – Separate from the Pack; 8 – Own It; 9 – Come Together; 10 – Celebrate! She had me at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… 10!!
I just finished the book. It’s motivational, inspirational, refreshing and real. Mrs. B.F. is sans B.S.

“The business of being happy requires making a conscious choice. People think being happy will just happen to them someday, if only they do this or that right. But it doesn’t – you have to choose it. You choose happiness, you don’t wait for it to choose you.”
— Bethenny Frankel (A Place of Yes)
“Make the most of every moment. Get excited about every little thing. Why not? Why not have your wonderful moment of excited anticipation? Why not be happy NOW? This is my greatest challenge, but something I’m pouring my heart into: learning how to enjoy what I have, right here, right now. Every moment is precious and although sometimes I struggle to see it, I see it more and more every day.”
— Bethenny Frankel (A Place of Yes)
