This book was done really well with majority of its chapters. It was of my most favorite books in my program.

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three stars mainly because I found the editor was too brief in some areas across the lifespan. I appreciate the desire to be brief, but I felt like some areas would have benefited from an expansion of the concepts.

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dated, uneven, some assertions that are incorrect and assumptive presented as facts. Not particularly insightful. Good personal examples, but dated.
