"Very
compelling as well as enlightening about our pathways of
living. Some of the best insights to take control of your life
and living rather than have it control you. You will be better
able to meet those challenges after reading The Game Rules for
Life by Doug Kelley."

"This
book was wonderful. The author has a unique insight on life
and on people that works. It's the kind of book that you'll
want to read again because it gives you a feeling of
empowerment in yourself. It opens your mind to see the things
"you knew that you knew". This book is like the Ruby
Slippers. You have always had the power, it just helps you
find it again. Do yourself a favor, transport yourself to the
best you that you can be. Read this book!"

"On my long lunch
hour today (30 minutes) I decided to look into your book. Of course, I
went right to the chapter about dealing with adversity. Wow, it was like
you were talking to me personally... I got so caught up in reading I was
late getting back to work. Needless to say I was also having a very
difficult time holding my tears back. Thank you for such a special gift
in sharing your life's experiences with us and letting us be a part of
your life… I can't wait to get home and read some more, with
Kleenex."

"Are you stuck in
a rut? Do you have a feeling that you need to be doing more with your
life but don't know how to get started? Then Doug Kelley's "Game
Rules for Life" is just what you need.
"The book is easy to
read, not bogged down with complex examinations of the human psyche, but
written in a practical manner that any reader can identify with. The
style reminds me of that found in the self-help classics "How to
Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and "Don't
Sweat The Small Stuff" by Richard Carlson. If you enjoyed those two
books, then you will enjoy this one also.
"It has something for
everyone; those who are at a crisis point in their lives, changing
careers, getting over a divorce, or just trying to make some sense out
of the vast world around us. It is a practical aid to anyone for sorting
out what is important and getting their life going in a positive
direction."

"I just wanted to
tell you how much reading your book has made my days a lot easier. I
just keep reading and reading to keep my spirits lifted. I really am
appreciating the part that discusses not feeling sorry for yourself. I
didn't realize how much I did that. Now I see that it is all up to me to
have a good or bad day no matter what … is going on around me.
"… I just
wanted to pass on my sincere appreciation for all the efforts you have
went through to put your "life on the line" so to speak to
share your most personal tragedy in hopes of helping others see the
light a little sooner in their lives."

"I just finished
reading the book ,The Game Rules for Life. The reason it took me so long
to finish was the breaks demanding reflection that it inspired. Well
written and deeply thought out. I liked it. Showed me I still have some
unfinished business. I recommend it to anyone looking for an insightful,
well written, moving book. I intend to buy some for gifts."

"Inspirational"
is an overused word in the self-help book category, I believe.
"Empowering" came to my mind when reading "The
Game Rules For Life." I kept reading when I realized the
book was not a religious "happy clappy" work
requiring faith in some deity. Doug's logical and common sense
approach to life and overcoming existential impasse comes
across as anything but Pollyanna, yet his compassion is also
obvious. He builds upon what one can do to make the most of
our short life by first requiring the reader to discover what
his purpose in life is, even assisting in this difficult step.
"The Game Rules For Life" left me with an improved
outlook on my remaining years. I believe it would do the same
for anyone who reads it."
