Using Theodore Roosevelt's statement that "comparison is the thief of joy," Wyma (Cleaning House) considers the problems of living in an excessively competitive culture. One of her remedies is to look at the big picture and to be appreciative of what one has instead of taking a glimpse at what someone else possesses and being discontented. The author also emboldens readers to establish relationships with others rather than using them as a yardstick. She offers examples, quotations, and personal admissions to make her point. Discussion questions are included for group study. VERDICT Even a cursory reading of Wyma's book will help shift the focus from self-pity to thankfulness.
