 A layman's book review December 27, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Reading some of the other reviews I think some of the readers misinterpreted of misunderstood the purpose of this book. So let me break it down. You are not to blame if you are being abused. This book does not encourage you to take abuse and/or turn the other cheek. It is intended for readers to take a look at their life and simply ask the question "are they really to blame?". Of course you shouldn't put up with abuse. The idea here is to look at smaller things in you life that make you angry, or are upsetting.
An example would be road rage. Of course you didn't deserve to get cut-off in traffic, but I am willing to bet that you wouldn't have noticed this if you weren't in a hurry to get somewhere. Your anger of road rage stemmed from the fact that you let yourself run late. The person that cut you off was an obstacle in YOUR egotistical reality. If you weren't in a rush, this person would be viewed as just another father or mother rushing to get home to their family.

Basically, his message is, "You have to be nice and polite to everyone else, but anyone can hurt you however they want, and if you don't let them, you're only hurting yourself." Why would I want to associate with anyone who has a mindset like that?
Don't buy this book. It's not worth your time or money, and the author doesn't deserve it.

This book helps you see yourself clearly and helps you understand basic principles of change. It is for the religious and non-religious alike. I highly recommend it.
 What was I supposed to get out of it October 8, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
We got this from set of our parents who said it was one of the best books they read. With that hearty recommendation we jumped in and read in bed in turns (evenings, Sunday afternoons). We talked about the first couple of chapters and were trying to figure out why we were given the book. The more we read the more confused we were and even though we skimmed the rest of the book, we quit after about page 50. I just have to presume that if this book is meant to heal relationships then our relationship as a married couple is pretty good because we had trouble finding application to any of it. Granted, we don't have teenagers yet! To those who read this who have read the book and want to give it as a gift, think twice about what you're conveying when you think of giving it as a gift to someone you love. (They may think you gave it to them because "they have issues".)
Good book to help us learn to forgive others September 3, 2007

I had the privilege of reading this book while it was still an unfinished manuscript, which was a long time ago. I looked forward to the finished product and bought a couple of extra copies to give away after it came out.
Re forgiving others: I've read scriptures and heard talks about the necessity of forgiving. This book gives insight on HOW we can DO that genuinely.
I find that it takes a lot to make a real impact on my life, and this book is one of the few that have made a big difference. I'm not saying that I got the long-desired change of heart right away or even after years. But, I have remembered various principles from it and over the years they have been "working on me." Little by little I am learning and growing, and this book was a big eye-opener to seeing things as they really are.
Summation: This book has been a God-send in my life.
