Andrea Norton’s Reviews > Excess Baggage: Getting Out of Your Own Way > Status Update

Maybe this is why I find it so much easier to forgive than others do: I never had injustice done to me by my parents when I was growing up.

I highly recommend that the reader doesn't skip chapters in this book. Even if one doesn't fit you very well, read it. It gives incredible insight to the people in your life.

The chapter on drama (which I'm still reading) is scarily familiar - I used to know someone exactly like this. She meant the world to me and it's comforting to know how she feels, why she acts and more importantly, who she is at her core.

I don't have a fear of rejection - however that chapter was absolutely FANTASTIC! I learned a ton about myself and why I've said and done certain things in life.

Hoping to finish this one tonight. It's a fun read!

Great chapter on superiority and how to change it. It really does boil down to fear - for me, it's the fear of failure.

The chapter on superiority makes a lot of sense, both about myself and people that I know. Great book so far!

The chapter on needing to be right and have control hit the nail on the head, and then some. The exercises are hard for someone like that (me) but they're doable.

I'm convinced that Judith Sills knows me. Even though I was 8 years old when this book came out (1993), it's like she looked to the future, found me and used my personality for this - at least the You Need to Be Right chapter!
