Hooking my ability to be me!

When I first picked up this book, I was afraid that I wouldn't understand the topic very well. However, I found that I was hooked from the start. The issues of dysfunction that come from working in corporate america have at times been devastating for me, yet the book helped me heal the internal rifts in my own thinking AND CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND MY OWN ABILITY TO BALANCE ME IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE CHOICES.The dual process paradigms were helpful to me and I found that it empowered me, my team, my life partner.Thank you for the book.You might want to try the other books by this man, they are just as good.
