[Peter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brutally honest but ultimately enlightening little book.
The author ranges across a spectrum form genuine understanding to the same old 'if you really believed you wouldn't be like this' with some useful insight and advice along the way.

Het boek heeft extra kracht doordat de auteur een ervaringsdeskundige is, zowel persoonlijk als in zijn praktijk. Het is een doorleefd boek.
De hoofdstukken hebben niet een hele logische structuur. Het is dus meer een verzameling essays over 'hoe om te gaan met angst en stress'. Daardoor wisselde het hoe interessant ik de hoofdstukken vond, maar er staan zeker hele goede dingen in!

This book is really sentimental for my family. It is religious, but even if you aren't religious, which I'm not really, the advice is still so helpful. It's also just written so thoughtfully. I highly recommend!
