Worth Reading Once

This book helped me to realize how unbalanced my life is what I can do to have a healthy emotional life. My only issue with the book is its length. Although the message is important, I think the message could have been given in 20 pages. The only reason it's longer is because publishers don't publish 20 page books. I would recommend taking notes while reading and then reselling the book when you're done.

Life Changing

This book helped me uncover the ability to change after struggling with addiction for over a decade. Specifically, the "revolutionary" notion that underneath our negative behaviors are positive needs that, when allowed appropriate expression, can dramatically reduce our tendency toward the negative. Real-life examples are used througout the book to illustrate the concepts being discussed. The authors have a practical, straightforward style, and the concepts are simple. These elements combine into a book that is enjoyable, educational, and deeply powerful.
