This book is absolutely incredible. it helps you delve deeper into WHY you react to things the way you do and where the root is. It helps you recognize areas in your life you didn't pay attention to. one of my favorite things is how it mentions that sometimes we need to be the parents our parents never had.

This book contains significant advice and direction for a variety of self-defeating behaviors. It is easy to listen to although it is somewhat clinical or theoretical in nature. I would recommend it and found it helpful but it is not necessarily an easy, flowing book to read.

Good Advice Given in an Understandable Format

I enjoyed listening to this book and felt that there were helpful takeaways from each chapter. While I typically enjoyed hearing the author, narrate the story in the genre, the narration could’ve been a bit more lively and engaging.
