Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Subpar 
Teaches you how to walk on egg shells. This may have been more useful in the 1950s, it’s interesting when the author uses female/male pronouns within examples. This book breezes over so much but when it does get detailed, it is decent information.

Very nice advice and tips
I really liked the quotes and some helpful advice, but is mostly just over generalized and didn’t like hearing the importance of empathy repeated when there are so many toxic relationships and no mention of codependency, narcissistic partners/parents, dealing with trauma and attachment styles, etc.

Enabling and vague.
This book tells you to “try to be thick skinned.” It is vague and describes enabling behavior. It doesn’t give concrete advice, just general advice like “be patient” “don’t get upset” “know their cues.”
I didn’t enjoy this at all.

Great book! I really like it
I love the books helped me to navigate better relationships and this one is a perfect guide to love, help and understand people who have been hurt, therefore now they act like “porcupines”

Save Yourself
There is nothing new in here. Basically summed with “suck it up, buttercup” or “bend over backwards, it’s all on you”.

A Guide to Enabling
This book should be called "How to Enable the Jerks in Your Life While Ignoring Your Own Feelings". There are few tips for actually dealing with anything it is more advice of do what makes your "porcupine" happy. At one point the author mentioned letting your porcupine do things that make them happy, so if you know they like to watch Sunday football undisturbed then stay away from the TV. Um....is this the 1950s? When there is actual advice, such as, when having a conversation stay calm no matter what, even if your porcupine makes you angry. Ok so we are just repressing our feelings? Don't wast your money or time on this book.

Not helpful at all. Don’t waste your money or time.
Enthusiastically recommending that I be nice and empathetic to a porcupine isn’t helpful at all. I stopped listening after 20 mins and would love a refund.

Should be called: “How to People-Please Toxic People”
I’m honestly baffled that this was written by a psychologist. There is no strategies for setting boundaries. It is all about avoiding explosions from people who already seem toxic. Kind of bummed that I wasted a credit on this.
