The scope of the 90 lessons go far beyond what I’ve seen in most other self-help books. I found myself bookmarking throughout and plan to read it again.

The issues in this book are EXACTLY what I’ve been working on with my therapist. It’s broken down into daily chunks with tangible exercises including a section on “why should I?”The only thing I would quarrel with is the section on giving people advice/feedback–WAY too complicated. I like this recipe better (though I have hardly mastered it): 1) Did they ask for it? 2) Can they actually DO something with the feedback? 3) Say it with kindness 4) Give it only once or possibly twice. If they don’t do anything with it then they really don’t want to do anything differently and just tell them you can’t listen to the complaint/issue anymore because you have nothing new to add.

But I definitely learned NEW ways to deal with old problems. Because the author gives you concrete actions on how to implement the advice and great examples, you are encouraged to really try to look within and deal with specific problems. I had two major concerns that kept me up at night. What a revelation to look at these things from a different perspective and LET GO! How freeing! I “purchased” this book free on Kindle, but I am purchasing hard copies for myself (for reference) and for my daughters (to share a book that I believe may greatly impact their lives.) This is one of those books where I feel even if you walk away with two or three new pieces of great coping skills, it was worth it.
