5 comments about Dear Lover.

1. Dear Lover helped me to understand the yearning I've felt since I've been in my teens. Interesting material for women to get in touch with their own sexuality and needs--probably good reference for males to understand women as well.



2. Oh, hell no. Deida is a clueless tool and this book is misogynistic tripe. Pass it on by.



3. This book has changed the way I see myself and the way that I see everyone. One of the most valuable books I have read. It was not what I expected, but turned out to be better. It's not a black and white, Q&A self help book. Nor does it speak of technique or 'Cosmopolitan'sex tips, etc. It is real. And deep. It is about deep, spiritual love and how to allow it.



4. For me, David Deida unfortunately has some of the qualities of the children's story "The Emperor's New Clothes". There are two reasons why.
   
   The first simply is there are large claims made to what his insights will bring. All his books promise to "guide" us into deeper spiritual understandings in the sexual realm. (And seriously, who wouldn't want that, right?)
   
   The second "new-clothesian" quality of Deida has to do with his form of discourse. The thing about his presentation is, there are copious amounts of spiritual beauty backed up by an subtle but constant wash of judgementalism. The structure goes sort of like this: "you want this, you don't have it, I know why you don't, here is what you need to do."
   But what if one does not totally agree with any of these "stepping stones" to understanding? The answer always seems to be that "you are not open enough yet to see it". "There is some blocking element in you".
   
   Very little of his metaphoric insights about "gender" or "essence" or most any of his ideas for that matter, are ever presented as "one can think of it this way" but rather as "this is how it is". He states every belief he has about sexual spirituality with what I consider a totally unwarranted confidence.
   
   And he has a system of "stages of growth" to pigeon-hole "where you are stuck".
   So yes, of course, I want to "get it". Yes, of course, I want to have the deep blissful place that is "my potential". Yes, I really am wanting to "see the emperor's beautiful clothing!"
   
   But honestly, while he earnestly and often eloquently gives gifts of insight into the subject, he also is rigid, arrogant, patently condescending, and as a writer, can be deadly dull and repetitive. Most of his core "beliefs" are for me painfully flawed. After reading this book, all I could think was, he really does not have much insight into the depth of the feminine essence nor a "feel for" life as a woman.
   
   I would never recommend this book to anyone.



5. Foa all men who truly love their girlfriend... A man must be brave to open in the way Deeida explains. He must be truly brave. Fear keeps our hearts closed and confessing this to your "dear lover" is not for the timid or ego driven sould that populate our world. This book is for the woman brave enough to open her heart, to forgive, to understand, to nurture and to love truly. Men who read this will find the deepest truth in black and white... and it's scary. Men who are brave enough to face their own hearts and who love the woman in their life should buy it and read it... read it again and contemplate everything. I read this with my own "dear lover" as well. May our hearts continue to open.

5 comments about The Emotionally Unavailable Man: A Blueprint for Healing.

1. This book was enlightening for me and I would recommend it to any woman who is "beating her head against a brick wall" with her mate and wants to break the cycle of frustration. The importance of seeing how you keep the cycle going is important if you want to make a difference in the situation. The author's clever way of presenting the information to both sides was very helpful.



2. I have just ordered 2 more of these books. One for my girlfriend and one for a good friend in need.
   Many, many thanks to Patti for writing the perfect book for myself and I imagine for a whole gaggle of men. I have been in and out of counseling to no particular avail on and off for far too long now. This book is so spot on it's shocking. On my second read "the penny really dropped" and my inaccurate/ineffective behavior of so many years is crystal clear to me now.
   Now that i know where and why the start-line exists I can start to do the work i have needed to do for a long time. If you are stuck in a holding pattern with someone you love dearly and want to get to the other side, everything you need to know is in this book.
   
   Buy it. Buy it now and get going. You won't regret it!



3. I found this book by accident (well, I don't really believe in accidents)looking for another book. I am an infidelity survivor and I was looking for books to help me piece my marriage, my self-esteem and my life back together. I found this book and it did all that AND MORE. While not listed as a book about infidelity, it delves into the WHYS of what causes infidelity and many other issues we all face when dealing with men, and men dealing with women and relationships, and all that entails.
   
   If you are a man, know a man, live with a man, or work with a man, you must read this book. ALL engaged couples should read this book, it should be mandatory before getting married. My marriage would be in tatters and who knows where my life would be without this book, and Patti Henry's fantastic insight. She is a life saver and so much more.... I cannot recommend this book enough.



4. Now I am in the final stretches of my first novel and I have special needs because the fire of truth is hotter than I have ever seen as this novel ravages my self delusion. The story is based on my travels in Europe at age 18 (1972) and I was blocked in several episodes because my father was a hurricane and although I can handle these memories in day to day situations I did not have the vocabulary to talk about him in the blazing intensity that the novel creates in my heart and mind. Through these exercises I have become un-stuck and I feel a ton of bricks has been removed from my shoulders. Just when I needed it most, this book came into my life. Many thanks to the author.



5. Patti Henry's book is the most helpful, common sense book I have read on relationships. No matter how you feel your problem plays out, you will find understanding and helpful insight into a problem that is probably most common to all relationships - lack of communication. What is especially encouraging, particularly for men, is that this book is written with much empathy for the situation that many men are in. With this book, however, there is no excuse for them to stay there! A 'must read' for all who desire healthy relationships, for themselves and their children.

5 comments about How We Love: Discover Your Love Style, Enhance Your Marriage.

1. I've probably spent hundreds of dollars on self-help books over the years looking for answers I couldn't seem to find. My husband and I have been together for over 18 years - many of which felt like banging our heads against the wall in frustration and three of which were spent separated. We were blessed to have survived the separation. I heard about this book on the radio (kkla) and knew it was the book we needed. By far, it is one of the BEST and most effective books I've ever come across. I admit, it was a bit daunting at first as the workbook made us dig pretty deep within ourselves, (I think the workbook is key!) but God really helped us to persevere! This book was a catalyst in helping us to undersand each other and ourselves in ways we never thought possible. Your book and workbook helped to promote real communication between us and helped to give us the best relationship we've ever had -- so much that my husband and I renewed our vows on December 31. We are recommending this book to all of our friends! Thank you, Milan and Kay!



2. Having problems with your marriage? Need to know why you act the way you act? This book is for you if you answered YES to any of the questions above. Buy This Book...YOU WON'T REGRET IT! How We Love is an excellent tool for learning about your life and why you are the way you are.



3. This book is very helpful along with good counseling. Anyone can benefit from this book. It's about all relationships, not just marriage. And any personality type will relate to it. It's worth the money.



4. Over the almost 12 years that we've been married, my husband and I have read many, many marriage books. Most have been Christian but there has been a smattering of secular ones as well.
   
   I think this is probably hands-down one of the very best we've ever read.
   
   It doesn't just describe your love needs or how you express love but goes deeper, getting to the root of why you love the way you do, the problems with that, and what to do about it.
   
   I keep recommending this book to others because it changed the way my husband and I saw one another and the way we related.
   
   I would go so far as to recommend this book before starting counseling. It could save you a lot of time and money in the counseling office.



5. Milan and Kay Yerkovich have put together a great book to help both good and struggling marriages. They describe five different personality types which are Avoider, Pleaser, Vacillator, Controller, and Victim, and how couples can "dance" together in their marriage when they are two different types of personalities. We all have "imprints" from childhood in our lives and they influence us and how we relate to each other. They ask the question, also, of ever being comforted by our parents. Do you remember ever being comforted in your childhood? They then proceed to explain how that affects us in adulthood. This book is not just about the problems we face but very concrete helpful answers, too. The workbook in the last quarter of the book is doable.
   
   They use real life situations of couples they have counseled and it's an interesting book with lots of illustrations from life.
   
   If you are struggling in your marriage I highly recommend this book.

5 comments about How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You.

1. I purchased this book and the online instant view. The instant view wasnt worth the $2.00 because you cant print or save.
   
   The book is good, though i havent read much of it.
   
   I have one complaint. The book isnt an easy read. Usually you must read 4 or 5 pages to understand the authors point or seduction tip. I really would have prefered a short, to the point, version of this book. She gives 100 or 200 seduction tips, but then she talks on and on about stories or the details on why it may work etc. Some of her conclusions are speculative.



2. Ok, so I had great hopes for this book, but was worried because the title promised a lot. Actually, its a great book just to make you a better person. It teaches you how to be a better person, to improve your people skills and draw people to you. I can see how it can help you be a better and more likeable person and draw people to you and like you, then some may fall in love with you. I wish the title were different because it sorts of limits the audience with its name.



3. This book focuses on what to do / say when you're around members of the opposite sex in the hope that they will fall in love with you.
   
   The book offers insightful information and key points to helping encourage and foster a relationship with someone. Many of the things suggested actually work (from personal experience) and do help you get closer to the people you care about. Some of the techniques include finding commonalities and really listening to the person. Using the techniques offered could, I would argue, help you improve your relationship with others (family members, relatives, etc) in your life not just your love interest.
   
   Honestly, though, the only thing I found misleading is the title. You can't MAKE people fall in love with you. This book will definitely help you hold and encourage interest, but if the person's not into you, then there's not a lot you can do to change their mind (see "He's Just Not That Into You").
   
   Overall, the book is well worth the money and really does offer great perspective and insight. You won't be disappointed.



4. This book was amazing! A guy friend of mine had given me some tips from it years ago and recommended I should read it. I finally got around to buying it a couple of months ago and finally sat down to read it. It offered great tips about communication and gender differences. I often found myself reading the sections geared towards men and thinking "Yes! That's exactly how I would like a guy to act!" So I have faith that the sections that are geared towards women are accurate in their suggestions. In fact, I have toyed around with some of the ideas she gives and they honestly worked. I'm sure it isn't the ONLY reason that the guy fell for me, but it certainly helped! I 100% recommend this book for girls AND guys. Even for those of you who are skeptical or not looking for love, it still brings to the table some really interesting sociologial studies and impressive facts! Happy Reading!!



5. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It provided keen insight into the dating/mating process. The chapters are divided into relevant topics and the author has a unique writing style that draws the reader into the content. Very helpful and fun.

5 comments about Preparing for Marriage.

1. My fiance' and I are very pleased with this product. We are looking forward to applying what we've learned being engaged and married.



2. So far this is a great book. It keeps my Fiance and I interested. And it's a workbook!



3. While there are areas that really don't apply if you are middle-aged and getting married, we just skimmed those. The rest is very well thought out and creates a real atmosphere of learning about one another (that is, as long as you are truthful with your answers).
   
   I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to prepare for marriage and to know if they really are sure. Obviously, it must be taken seriously to really help at all.



4. My husband and I used this book as part of an 8 week Premarital Counseling course. We both found the book to bring up good topics for discussion though most of them we had discussed before. I would not describe myself as a very religious person but more of a spiritual person with strong Christian beliefs. That said, I found some "opinions" in the book to be narrow minded and that some of the bible passages were taken out of context. I do think that it was a good tool as part of our sessions but don't depend completely on this book for your premarital counseling. We also looked at The 5 Love Languages and Dave Ramsey's book Financial Peace Revisited. Those books as well as the insight from our counselors made all the difference.



5. Great Book!!!!!! My husband and I read through this when we started to consider marriage and absolutely loved it. We really enjoyed the interaction and activity oriented tasks as we were challenged to dig deeper and to prepare for marriage! Wonderful for couples that haven't been married before, opens the lines of communication as well as shedding light any assumptions each may be carrying about marriage. Great Christian book with a God honoring but realistic message. -mrs. hodawanus (:

5 comments about Dr. Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 Days.

1. This book is extremely helpful for children with ADHD. It gives practical and fast working advice that is right on the money. It is a great place to start when looking for an alternative to drug therapy. I highly recommend this be the first book you read when you are learning about ADHD - it may be the only one you need. Thank you to Dr. Bob for all your research and clinical expertise that went into writing this book and for all the children you have saved!



2. My 3 year old son had been out of control for a long time. He had many symptoms of ODD. He had a short fuse and got angry easily. He always whined and wouldn't sleep through the night. Both my husband and I were at a breaking point, but knew we did NOT want to go the medication route. I always thought our family ate pretty healthy; we would limited our kids sugar/snack intake and we weren't a milk drinking family so I didn't think that my son's 'attitude' symptoms were food/mineral deficiant related. Boy, were we wrong!
   While reading Dr. Bob's book I compared my son's 'symptoms' to those in the book. Dr. Bob's book has been a lifesaver! We noticed a difference in only 5 days!
   We started w/ the nigtly salmon oil, added flax, changed to soy and rice milk and we are beginning to add vitamins and whole food minerals. We even started the program for all 3 my children.
   This book has added a bright future for our children and has given my husband and I the peace in knowing we are actually getting to the root of the problam instead of just medicating the problem. Thanks Dr. Bob.



3. When I first saw this book I thought... "18 days? Yeah, right." But I thought I didn't have anything to lose but a few dollars so I got it. We had tried all kinds of diets, vitamins, meds. Things would get better but not be entirely "back to normal".
   
   I read through Dr. Bob's book, took notes, implemented some of the thoughts... I read the entry of one of the readers below that talked about the parasites and wondered if perhaps that was it for us too.
   
   We had an appointment and saw a doctor. Parasites it was. Five days on a course of black walnut tincture and my daughter was a new child. She lost her diagnosis of ADHD the next doctor appointment we had. The teachers could not believe the difference. We are still in awe.
   
   Thank you Dr. Bob. Without you and your book, my daughter would still be on Concerta. And the health of our family would never have been improved from your other recommendations.
   
   For this and so much more, Dr. Bob:
   THANK YOU !!!
   
   PS We also HIGHLY recommend the daily devotional Dr. Bob has written. I don't have a friend who hasn't bought it after hearing some of the topics discussed in it - turning grey hair back, the hazards of peanut butter, better sleep, back pain solutions, bringing liver enzymes back to normal, migraines, and the list goes on and on with advice we had never ever heard before and my friends and I read A LOT of health books !!!



4. Dr. Bob in his book is another one of those writers about ADHD who believes (sincerely) that supplements, food, good parenting, and so on is the correct answer for treatment of all types of ADHD/ADD. While certainly, the above would help almost any type of disorder, he never bothers to mention at ANY time when his idea did not work, (ie the vitamins failed to solve the child's problems)--so am I believe it is 100% successful?!! Amazing. My question for Dr. Bob is if pharmaceuticals do not work, then why can I name so many success stories from people who DO USE them. Oh, by the way, they do not work all the time. He is a convincing, good writer, he is just totally wrong. Also, he forgets that we now are seeing adults in their 40s still having the symptoms of ADD, who by the way had them first diagnosed in the 1-3rd grades. I would recommend his book, because it is well written and organized. And, all children do NOT need to take medications to modify their behavior. I do think our society at time has gone overboard with that notion. But his book is not the cure all with his omega oils and patented products he so often wants you to use. He has some very good ideas, and I took this into account. He says sugar impairs you immune system, which is abosolutely false, and has some other non sense he tries to pass on with questionable science to back it up. To me it appears as another one of those who believes you should avoid ALL medications at ALL costs no matter what. Also, how many cases a day does he "treat" for ADHD, and how does he deal with adults who have had it for so long. Does he, while flexing soft tissue as a chiropractor, take time out to express his feeling while giving a massage? ADHD/ADD is a long complex condition-- that foods and vitamins cannot "fix" so easily as this half life of 18 days he speaks about. It often involves moral and personal issues at home, that by avoiding sugar is just not going to cover. guyairey



5. At first when I tried his suggested program I didn't think anything was different/changing so I stopped the supplements (about two weeks into it at least.) Boy could I tell a difference then! Going the natural route prevented from having to see a professional and going on Ritalin or whatever else they medicate with now. I don't use the program full time anymore but when I feel my attention waxing and feel spacey I start up the vitamin B and whammo my head comes back and I can focus again. I thought this book fantastic and recommend it to anyone. He describes what happens in the body and why the deficiency causes ADHD/ADD issues. Even if you don't have the syndrome the information regarding health and how the body benefits from various vitamins is informative.

5 comments about Coping With Premature Ejaculation: How to Overcome PE, Please Your Partner & Have Great Sex.

1. Drs. Metz and Mccarthy have written the book that needed to be written. Finally, here is an easy to read book for both professionals and the general public which addresses a common sexual complaint that troubles so many men and their partners. Coping with Premature Ejaculation reaches new ground in the understanding and treatment of PE. The book is up to date, comprehensive, and easy to follow. It will remain a valuable resource for the future of comprehensive treatment for sexual difficulties.



2. Metz and McCarthy have done the research based on their work with troubled clients. And they know how to offer step-by-step advice on successful coping with the problem. Best of all, they take a complex issue and give people permission to explore and experiment. They see healthy sex as important, and most especially, fun.

   I hope many people will find this important resource so they can end their suffering and find the joy of sexual enrichment.




3. To start with I do have PE. I think this is a most outstanding book. It approaches the problem in very thorough and easy to understand way. I have read many books and tried everything on the market - desensitizers, herbal pills, exercises you name it I have tried it. Nothing worked. The book allowed me to approach the problem very methodically and I am practically PE free now. It shows you that this is a problem which is only a matter of management and right approach to sex. Also I have no permanent partner so it works for singles too. I used to cum in about 2 minutes although sometimes I could go for 10 or 15 but no rule for it. Now I can easily have 15 minutes pre-intercourse and at least 15 minutes of intercourse.
   I would also suggest that you use some of the hypnosis tools on the market. They work great in conjunction with the book as they allow you to relax which is crucial for success. Good luck to anybody who is in need of such a book. This is the one :-))



4. I am a medical doctor with 16 years of clinical experience in treating erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and related conditions. I was happy when this book appeared last year because it is really well written and provides a full overview of this serious and common problem. Regarding the proposed ways of solving it I have my disagreements. Always having the best interest of the client or reader, I have to say that by following this book it will take long time trying to solve your PE. Plus, complete and permanent solution is questionable! This is partly due to the fact that there was less available data and research in this area 2 years ago.
   
   A science-based book appeared 2 months ago, which provides the latest and very best approach to solving PE, impotence and lack of libido. Its name is "Scientifically Guaranteed Male Multiple Orgasms and Ultimate Sex", which can solve your problem within a few days. That's why many real people and doctors from around the world highly recommend it. Check it out and see for yourself.
   Dr. Joseph Alexander



5. I am a sex therapist and sex educator, teaching at a large graduate school in the midwest. I use this book as a required text in my 'Treatment Strategies for Sexual Dysfunction' class. It is not only an excellent self-help book, it teaches clinicians how to think about and treat sexual difficulties. Barry McCarthy and Michael Metz are simply the best at what they do. I recommend this book to clients, students, and colleagues.
   Bravo to two excellent sex therapists!

5 comments about Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss, Second Edition.

1. This book did what 34 years of therapy with expensive and highly degreed therapists could not do. I lost my mother emotionally at the age of 12. While this book starts out addressing the physical death of a mother, it very well includes all kinds of losses that damage the mother-daughter relationship. My mother went from a warm, loving, nurturing parent who baked all the time and kept a clean house to a paranoid, delusional,slovenly woman who was never home, and who was physically abusive when she was; a woman who could not criticize me deeply and thoroughly enough. There were probably lots of reasons for that, none of them having anything to do with me. But at 12, how was I to know? I just thought she didn't love me anymore. I could not please her. At 16, I stopped trying, ran away from home and learned how to live on the streets.
   
   This loss colored my life for the rest of my life, and it took every ounce of strength, energy and intellect to untangle the mess. This book shed some very crucial light on the deepest wound my soul carries. I know a closeness with my mother because of that painful bond that is a combination of pleasure and pain that is part and parcel of who I am. Today, thanks to Hope Edelman, I understand that bond (and the bond I have with my daughter)so much better.



2. I lost my mother to cancer a month after I graduated from high school, 2 months before leaving for college. I thought no one else out there could imagine what I was going through. My Dad remarried a few years later, he got a new wife but I was still left without a mom. He bought me this book as a gift one year, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. There were women out there who knew exactly how I felt, what I was feeling. I couldn't believe it. I have bought this book for five other women since then, all who lost their moms at different stages of their life for different reasons. Everyone of them loved the book. I have recently bought the workbook and have been going through it. It is a great companion to this book.



3. My mother died when I was 11 and now I'm 22 and getting married. I was really feeling bad about her not being at my wedding and I was dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. This book helped me so much in realizing why I was the way I was growing up and what I can expect along the way. I would highly recommend this book for any daughter that has ever lost a mother, even if she wasn't lost through death.



4. I lost my Mom when I was an adult of 32. Even though this book goes through different age stages, I was able to find something in each section that related to me. We all grieve differently if you are a young child or an adult. My Mom was my friend and confidant and there were still things that she missed when she passed on including my marriage and my child. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone and I'm going to order one for a friend who just lost their Mom.



5. I wish this book had been available sooner. I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 13 years old. I am now 55. This book has helped me put the last 42 years of my life into prespective. I was the oldest child in the family and was given the task of becoming a caretaker and housekeeper for my father and two younger children. This book helped me to understand the many areas of my life and my thinking that were touched by the aftermath of my mother's illness and death. Anyone looking to understand the legacy of a mother's death should read this book. Have a box of kleenex near by, it will touch your heart. Thank you Hope Edelman for baring your soul to bring understanding and healing into other motherless daughter's lives.

5 comments about Every Woman's Battle: Discovering God's Plan for Sexual and Emotional Fulfillment.

1. Wow!!!!!!!!!! Excellent study. In short, face facts and deal with your demons head on with God at the front of the battle.



2. Having read Stephen Arterburn's book, Every Man's Battle, I thought I would read this book to see what I could learn from it.
   
   As for the men, you will probably not learn anything more out of this book if you have already ready Every Man's Battle. And for women, all I can say is wow, all women should be given this book at a young age to read.
   
   This book can help one understand the what and why's of what is happening when it comes to sexual and emotional fulfillment in relationships, and what can be done to deal with it.
   
   Yes, I somewhat agree with the other reviewers that complain about the book not talking enough about woman who have as strong a sex drive as men, but I don't think it was right for them to rate this book so low for that one point.
   
   I highly recommend all woman buy it, and also make sure your Church library has one.



3. Emotional integrity is something we don't often think about. In today's society, if you have not physically cheated on your husband, you have not cheated. This came crashing down around me when I was emotionally unfaithful to my husband, but not physically, and I came to understand that it could have just as easily destroyed my marriage (and nearly did). This book was a turning point for me. Shannon explains how God created women to be, and how we can be what He created us for with purity. A womans heart is so beautiful, and so fragile. We all want to be loved. Reading this book helps us to discover the one true lover of our souls, Jesus Christ.
   
   Whether your issue is just one, or many of the topics covered in the book, it truly is EVERY womans battle. And when you read it, you feel like you don't have to live in shame because the title is EVERY womans battle. Every woman deals with one or more of these things.
   
   Please, read the book and experience God's love, grace, forgiveness, friendship, and restoration for yourself.



4. My pastor recommended this book after my own fall from grace and it has been eye opening (or closing). This book gives you the tools to curb your sexual appetite that is fed by your eyes. You look at a beautiful woman (God's creation) and notice her breasts, or any other part of her anatomy, so you stare and process this image with your eyes, then send it to your brain to remember her in your files, then it goes to your heart where the lust kicks in. Now you're hooked. Every Man's Battle starts with the eyes. Turn away, close them or bounce. Bounce your eyes means you see something innappropriate (internet, print, live, etc) and your eyes immediately move away to something else. This prevents the brain from processing it and sending it to your heart to relive.
   
   My hope is that society will begin to appreciate women as God's creation and place them on a pedastal to be cherished and nurtured and not an object of desire for all to use.
   
   Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (The Every Man Series)



5. This book is just what every woman needs. Every woman has some struggle in her life when it comes to sexual and emotional fulfillment. Whether single or married, this book is very applicable. I would recommend going through this study with a bible study group or with an accountability partner. I also recommend going through the workbook as you read the book in order to have life application. This book doesn't just talk about the struggles with affairs and pornography, but also addresses the 'little things' that women keep telling themselves are okay. If you want a better relationship with your spouse, yourself and the Lord. Please give this book a look.

5 comments about The Dance of Intimacy.

1. Harriet Lerner has great insight into human relationships and gives helpful comments as to how to interact in a positive manner with others.



2. I have three women's support groups and I have used Dr. Lerner's books as guidelines for our discussions - an amazing in depth understanding of the human psyche.
   This, as well as all her books, should be required reading by all high school classes. Maybe we could have a different outcome from our future citizens.



3. This book is OK, but slightly out dated. There are some really good points and is very easy to interpret into your own life.



4. This book uses insightful examples of how our relationships with every member of our nuclear and extended families can affect us. I really enjoyed her style and felt that she acknowledges the limitations each of us may have when it comes to making changes in our interactions with key members of our families. I thought her reiteration of the fact that timing and gradual change are key factors and unique for all of us. Wonderful book that has really changed my life for the better.



5. It's a great book that encourages women to appreciate the self, improve their self-esteem and be more alert of their individual needs in conjuction with their relationships.
