How to Get Through Hell on Earth
Without Drinking a Keg or Kicking a Garden Gnome
Rynski went from a scruffy drunken rebel without a house on the streets of New York City to an award-winning writer, artist and speaker thriving in Florida (who is only scruffy every other Thursday).
This book tells you how it happened, along with some handy tips along the way.
This journey of recovery and self-discovery comes with real-life lessons and strategies for making magic in your own life.
Written in Ryn’s brutally honest, no-nonsense style, get ready to laugh, learn and perhaps pick up a lesson or two about transforming even the greatest hell into something that helps you grow and soar.
Wonderful, honest, heartbreaking, intelligent and hilarious!
I could not put it down! It made me cry, laugh out loud and truly think about how to be a better person and get the most out of life. It is written like the author is here with me telling me her story through a conversation. It is brutally honest, intelligent, heartbreaking and hilarious as she tells of her darkest, hardest moments and how she got through to a bright and beautiful life. I am grateful to the author for sharing her story and her tools for continuous improvement to help others make beautiful life of their own. This book will stick with me and I will go back to it a lot for years to come to revisit the words of wisdom.

This dandy illustrated guide outlines 12 types of difficult people, along with 12 highly effective tools for dealing with them all. Don’t delay. Use the tools today – for a happier, healthier, and jerk-free tomorrow.
My new guide to life
This book is fabulous and I think I've found my new guide to life in 55 pages. It's all SO completely true but hilarious. The drawings are fitting and adorable, so full of character. We all know at least one version of every type of the difficult person portrayed, or perhaps even seen ourselves in them (while my name is Ann, I have to admit Woeful Williams rings too true... need to work on that).
Angel Jamboree: Angels Across America
The next time you’re feeling lonely, sad or just plain squirrely, why not call on an angel? Angels are all around us, ready to help with anything and everything. This book is the first in Rynski’s Angel Jamboree series that proves it.
Inside this full-color illustrated collection, you’ll meet an angel from every state – along with rhyming verse that outlines their main duties, personalities, and even what they do for fun.
Bony Yoga
Whether you’ve done yoga at home or in a class, you’ve probably encountered it as some as pretty serious business. Not anymore. Award-winning author and artist Ryn Gargulinski throws some humor into the mix with her delightful Bony Yoga, a real-life yoga guide with skeletons depicting the poses.
This sweet little book features Ryn’s signature skeletal creations in all sorts of traditional yoga poses – with all sorts of untraditional commentary running beneath them. You’ll get a bare-bones look at more than 50 asanas common to a variety of different yoga styles.
Delightful Book
The 12 Steps for Everyone
Adaptation of the steps for folks not in recovery
Remember that manual for living you always wanted? Here it is.
It's the 12 Steps in a variation anyone, anywhere can use. They're based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, but written for folks not in recovery.
That means you get all the joy, freedom and relief the steps can bring without the years of hangovers that usually comes with the territory. Pretty cool deal indeed!
Excellent roadmap for improving your life
A friend recently loaned me a copy of this book and my immediate reaction was to order 2 more copies. I want one to keep for myself and another for another friend. This book is a must for anyone looking for straightforward solutions to life's problems. This book is written by an author with an amazing sense of humor and tons of knowledge. She transforms what could have been a tedious and dry subject of working through the steps into a truly enjoyable experience.
It's both a roadmap and workbook with exercises that can lead anyone to a peaceful, less stressful and more fulfilling life. Three of my favorite parts are that obsessing over things we can't control causes chaos in life, holding on to resentments will destroy your life, and working on your defects will enormously improve your quality of life.
Three cheers - and five stars - to this book, which I would highly recommend for anyone interested in a happier and more meaningful way of living.
