I read this book in 1996, when I was looking for direction in my life after 15 years of marriage facing a divorce and no future. The book really helped me to make healthier choices in how I rewarded myself putting a real value on lasting choices rather than focusing on more immediate outward fixes like material things, relationships, physical beauty, etc. Ultimately, her message was creating and improving self-esteem, not finding the perfect mate, job, home, etc. So I set out adjusting what I valued and realized that was the foundation to the rest of my happiness, a foundation I was lacking. When I chose this book I thought I would get direction, but instead I got insight, insight to permanent happiness, not one that can be taken away by circumstances like divorce, aging, job loss, etc. I set long term goals like getting my degree and starting a career as a counselor and today I use this basic information to guide others. I highly recommend this book for those that feel like they are missing something in their lives and look to others for their value and happiness.
