[Για μένα η λεκτική υποτίμηση είναι ένα είδος βίας εξίσου καταστροφικής με τη σωματική.]

[Αν παραδίνεσαι στην αυτολύπηση και δε σέβεσαι τον εαυτό σου, κανείς άλλος δεν πρόκειται να το κάνει. ]

[Όσο τεχνολογικός κι αν έχει γίνει ο κόσμος μας, ποτέ δεν πρέπει να ξεχνούμε τη σημασία των ανθρώπινων σχέσεων. ]

[Οταν προσφέρεις ένα τριαντάφυλλο η ευωδιά του λουλουδιού αργεί να φύγει από το χέρι σου.]

[Μόνο αφού αναγνωρίσεις τους φόβους σου, αφού αντικρίσεις με θάρρος τα εσωτερικά σου δαιμόνια που προσπαθούν να σε πείσουν οτι είσαι ανάξιος και αφού διώξεις όλες τις λανθασμένες πληροφορίες με τις οποίες προγραμμάτισαν τη ζωή σου οι τοξικοί άνθρωποι, οι οποίοι στο παρελθόν δηλητηρίαζαν τη ζωή σου, μόνο τότε μπορείς να νιώσεις ότι αξίζεις το καλύτερο που έχουν να σου προσφέρουν οι άλλοι.]

Confession: I didn't read the entire book from cover to cover. Yet what I read changed my life and led me to the man I've been married to since 2006. Still married. To think that I wouldn't have been able to identify how wonderful he is if it weren't for the things I learned by reading this book.

Also, I somehow still have friends from 1994 still in my life, go figure!

If you feel like everyone you meet sucks, the first three chapters are enough to be a huge game changer.

While the book is insightful, some of the advice may feel repetitive or overly simplistic for readers already familiar with personal development literature. However, its positivity and clarity make it a great starting point for those new to the subject.

This book is fantastic... Great reminder to BE A TERRIFIC friend to others!
