Requests for Cuckoo in Your Nest!
Email this article to a friend
Just a quick note: Some of you have contacted me to request a free copy of my ebook Cuckoo in Your Nest! without providing the correct email for me to use to send it to you.
Unfortunately, I haven’t even been able to reply to your email to notify you of this problem because the email provided was not exactly correct.
So, I apologize to those of you to whom I have not been able to send the ebook or even to let you know why I couldn’t. Please contact me again (using the Contact Form on the Home Page—and please don’t forget the anti-spam question!), making sure your email is correct, and I’ll be more than happy to send it to you immediately!
Those who have read it say it’s a very easy, quick read, and very insightful, too! Another blogger whom I respect very much, Flora Morris Brown, Ph.D., has read it.
(I always think of her affectionately as “Dr. Flora,” as when I excitedly tell my boyfriend, “Dr. Flora commented on one of my posts!” I hope she doesn’t mind! It’s so much more personable, sort of like “Dr. Phil”; and, I certainly wouldn’t mind if I had a Ph.D. or M.D. and people preferred to called me “Dr. Shanel” instead of “Dr. Yang.” In fact, some colleagues and supervisors in my legal career affectionately called me “Ms. Shanel” instead of “Ms. Yang” for years. Maybe that’s why I like it. But, if she does mind, I’m sure she’ll let me know; and, of course, I’ll stop!)
Dr. Flora’s blog is the uplifting yet down-to-earth Color Your Life Happy. You should check it out! She has told me she would love to include parts of Cuckoo in Your Nest! in her upcoming inspirational book bearing the same title as her blog, Color Your Life Happy. How exciting! The overly-needy, manipulative, and draining folks whom I call “Human Cuckoos,” she calls “ARs” for “Assembly Required.” Too funny!
I’m looking forward to her book! If you want a free copy of mine, just contact me with your request; and, I’ll get it to you as soon as I have your correct email. : )

Hi Shanel, I have just found your blog and I LOVE it! Easy to read, motivating, inspiring. Thank you - it’s really helping me get my head around a few issues. Perfectionism, obsessiveness, lack of confidence etc. I can particularly relate to your comments in “Change Your Mindset to Change Your Life”. That’s right where I am right now; I now have more of an idea of what I need to do to break free of my self-imposed limitations. Thank you for your inspiration.
I was wondering, could you please send me a free copy of your ebook “Cuckoo in Your Nest” ?
Thanks,
Lesley
