Very useful

I have been doing alot of personal growth work around improving my own communication skills. This book has been very useful. It is a book that focusses more on developing self-awareness than in techniques to use in communication with others. In fact, my only criticism of the book is that the back cover suggested the authors would provide techniques and skill practice activities, and they didn't. It is easy to read, engaging, and insightfl. The title, as the previous reviewer stated, really does say it all. This book would be a terrific addition to the library of any counsellor or teacher who teaches counselling skills. A counsellor could even loan a copy to a client to read. The book has some very good vignettes that illustrate the concepts. Some of the chapters are long, but the writing is good enough that most will not notice. I found I could pick up the book and go to any chapter and gain valuable insight, so a person using it as a teaching tool would not have to assign the entire book.

A life changing piece of literature!

After a terribly traumatic break-up, I was on a mission to fix what was wrong with me. Thank God someone recommended this book! It is filled with thought-provoking and intelligent insight into the dynamics of our relationships with ourselves. The title says it all. This book assisted me in really looking deep within myself to find the answers I so desperately sought. Not only is this book worthwhile, it should be required reading!
