Description:

You Can Do It! is the vision of Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, a heroine of United Flight 93 and a woman who was an inspiration to all who knew her. Lauren's dream was to create the ultimate self-empowering resource, a book to help women of all ages realize their dreams. Inspired by her beloved Girl Scout badges, nurtured to publication by her family and friends—led by Lauren's two sisters, Vaughn and Dara—You Can Do It! is the merit badge handbook for every grown-up girl who's said, "I wish I could..." Jam-packed with practical advice, here is step-by-step instruction and kick-in-the-pants encouragement for achieving 60 exciting badge activities. Start your own business, go back to school, speak in public, play a musical instrument, fix the car—whatever the ambition, each activity features a female expert to mentor the reader and guide her to success with clear how-to, practical resources, and the wisdom of experience. Learn a new language with Susan Carvalho of Middlebury College, take a great photograph with Lauren Greenfield, climb a mountain with Annapurna expedition leader Arlene Blum. These 512 can-do pages are about dusting off fantasies, overcoming fears, and achieving long-held desires. And to top it all off, the book includes 60 colorful badge stickers—a fun reward for goals accomplished. With its warm and encouraging message, You Can Do It! will help women everywhere discover that, yes, they can!A portion of the proceeds from You Can Do It! will go to the Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas Foundation, which supports charitable causes and scholarships for women.

5A great resource and very inspiring!Jan 08, 2009
It's hard to say I've finished this because it is one of those books that would take years to complete if you did all the activities. I found that about 2/3 of the activities listed were ones I have done or could or want to actually do. I really have no desire to rock climb or walk on fire :) but kudos to those who do!

I used this book more as resource to check through the things I have already done to see what else I could add to my knowledge. I would like to work through some of the other subjects in the book over time.

For me the most interesting part of the book was the introduction where the author's family wrote about how the author died on the United flight on September 11, 2001. I would have liked to know more about her because of this.

3It's just okayOct 23, 2008
This book is really nothing to shout out about. The stickers are nice, but I found the book quite boring and repetitive.
