"Attitude is everything," says Dr. Arthur Caliandro, respected spiritual leader and successor to Norman Vincent Peale at New York City's Marble Collegiate Church. Project a good attitude and your life will be better. Sound a bit simplistic? Well, that's the point! In Simple Steps to an Exceptional Life, the companion video to the book of the same name, Caliandro offers 10 easy steps anyone can take towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life, such as "settle with your past and move on," "banish prejudice from your life," "tap your inner momentum," and "take the higher road." Although these are all time-honored self-help chestnuts, Caliandro's easygoing lecture format convinces viewers that these are indeed accomplishable tasks. Unfortunately, the testimonials between the individual segments make the program sound a bit like an infomercial. A strong, optional purchase. Aud: P. (J. Asala)
