"The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once",
What It Is - And What It's Not

Above all else, here's what's important to note... Although there are most definitely elements of warmth and encouragement to be found, as the title implies (sort of anyway) - the style and frankness of the book's content is far from the traditional content of typical inspirational and motivational books on the market. In other words, by no means is it a feel good, just-believe-and-things-will-happen-for-you offering. Instead, the message from the inspirational poems and stories is... increasing your happiness and fulfillment begins with refocusing your thoughts, beliefs and degree of commitment – and then simply persevering, each and every day. It’s about faith in the great power we have within and even greater faith in even greater things. It’s about the power we have to choose what we will think, say and do today – and whom we will inspire… It’s about this life and the finite time we’ve been blessed with and how we will, from this point, choose to spend it.

The amazing thing is the perspectives presented in the book's inspirational poems and life stories are just as relevant for the admittedly skeptical as they are for the avid reader with the collection of twenty-seven inspirational and motivational books on his or her bookshelf. The motivating and inspiring perspectives are just as relevant for the young and the not so young... for those chasing big dreams and those with magnificent dreams still to be defined... for those with tremendous means and those now truly ready to begin to ascend... for those who wake up everyday with a smile and those who don't particularly appreciate the "Smilers". The perspectives offered in the book's poems and stories can be relevant for just about anyone. And these are the perspectives that are the foundation, inspiration and very purpose for the atypical collection of inspiring poems, stories and quotations shared in this uniquely inspirational and motivational book.

And so, these are the motivating and inspiring perspectives, and this is the book, that will challenge and uplift you, if you are truly ready to begin to perceive yourself, your life, your destiny and the world around you in a new and more inspired way... if you are truly ready to begin to expect and demand more from each day - much as these perspectives, stories and poems from the book have begun to impact three-time-author Betty Dravis, as passionately shared in her five star Amazon.com review of "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once" below.

Thanks Ms. Dravis for embracing your potential, having the desire and motivation to endeavor to make a greater difference in the world around you, the inspirational and motivational lift for me - and for, in such an awesome fashion, reminding me exactly why I do what I do. Thank you.

Get More Inspired

To get more out of life, read this book! Unique, yet easy perspective!

As this author says, "There has to be more to life than the here and now" ... "more to the hustle-bustle of daily life." And he goes on to tell us how to unlock our own amazing potential.

When I received an ARC of this inspiring book, the title alone grabbed my attention. What's that all about? I wondered, and when Mr. Anthony went on to explain that that was the first blow life dealt him, I began to understand.

I had heard some of these truths in other forms, of course, but none so succinct and clear. This book taught me how to make simple changes in my reactions to the blows life hands me, and how to adjust my attitude so that I could learn from them and "make a difference" ... not only in my own life but in the lives of my friends and family and all those with whom I come in contact.

I confess it won't be an overnight miracle, but if I stop to think about what I'm doing and plan where I'm going and what I want to be (not what others want me to be) I will change little by little until I eventually grow into the successful person I was meant to be.

This book is clear, concise and easy to read, with many examples of successful people to guide us along our way. I especially enjoyed the inspiring story of Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame. He was knocked down more than the average person, but he persisted in diligently pursuing his dream, and the rest is history. We all know how successful he was.

The author also describes how an insignificant little book he read as a child affected him; he cites an intriguing psychological case study ... Well, I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that each chapter gave me more insight into how I (and other readers) can unlock our own potential and fulfill our dreams.

Thanks, Mr. Anthony, for renewed inspiration and for sharing your wisdom with the world. I highly recommend this book.

Motivate A Friend Or Loved One

"The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once" doesn't fit neatly into the old tried and true, perhaps somewhat too familiar categories. This book is inspirational - and the book is motivational as well. The book is about the potential exhilaration and wonder that can be life - and the emotional devastation, inherent dignity and perspective that can come with death. The book is about nurturing an impassioned and unwavering belief that you possess an innate ability, through you mind set, interactions and deeds to change the world - and nurturing the appreciation that, because some things are in fact beyond our span of influence, faith in a considerably higher power is necessary.

The book is about an absolutely never quenched thirst for ever more personal knowledge and understanding of this place, and the concepts, things and people in it - and the even greater appreciation that the most incredible possibilities in life are likely wrapped in the things we simply may never be equipped to comprehend. The book is about the pain of having life, sometimes in the form of someone you care about, knock you down - and the will it takes, and triumph that comes with, making it back on your feet. The book is about the existence of love, laughter, passion and perspective that can make yours, and mine, a most audacious life - and the pain, tears, loss and fear... and the intended lessons to be derived. The book is about the realization that without the rain, there would never be true and lasting appreciation for the sun.

The book is not so much about having the need to control, as it is effective application of influence. The book is about saying hello, showing gratitude, making a positive impact and causing others to smile every chance we get. The book is about being willing to step up to bat... and being willing to really swing for all it's worth. But, more than anything, this motivational and inspirational book is about life, being cognitive that the sand continues to flow through the respective hourglasses of our existence and what we choose to think - and not think, do - and not do from here.
