Generally speaking I don't read self-help books as my background is in psychotherapy and I am currently a social worker. But my real reason for this is that I find self-help books redundant. You get the answer in the first chapter and you don't need to read the rest of the book. Not so with Helena Rosenbergs book. I am in the last few chapters now and have enjoyed each moment as it is entertaining, insightful, and interesting. But unlike some reviewers, you have to be ready to read this book, and you have to "get it." Years ago, I would have said "yeah, yeah yeah, I know, I know." Now I am looking at it with a whole new set of eyes because I am 42 1/2 and had been thinking I knew it all for 22 single years. Before I read the book, I DID just recently begin to really get what was holding me back, BUT, now that it is artfully interpreted in this book, my feelings are validated. I can't take them back now because she said what I felt. I also believe that this book will be enjoyed by both a psychotherapist and a lay person. Of course I am only giving the opinion from one side. I have also recommended it to single friends and I will wait and here what they think. If you are really REALLY ready to get some insight into what is holding you back in life, then you should pick up this book and devour it. Listen. Don't make excuses, don't kid yourself. Not every single word will pertain to you, but it is interesting anyway because it might pertain to a friend. But when you listen to any lecture, not all of it will pertain to you, you take from it what is relevant to your life and use it. But if you are still of the mindset "I like my world the way it is" when you see this book, then walk away, because you don't need to read it anyway. But don't write a review on here because you want to tell us you know it all. It isn't fair to the author or her book -- Especially if you have never even read it cover to cover!
