I have to admit that I wasn’t prepared to hear all the things that are holding me back, that I myself, am causing in my own life. However, once I get past that, I feel that this book will be extremely helpful to help me realize how I can overcome myself, and get out of my own way. I found the words in this book to be extremely intelligent, well delivered, and eye-opening. Thank you so much for bringing this book to the world, and to me.

Wonderful insight!

I did get a couple things out of this book, but mostly this isn't new information for most adults. The information is solid, but the narrator might put you into a depressive sleep soon.

Good if you need a reminder of the basics

I thought this was about self-improvement, based on the title and description. It ended up being more about preventing divorce in traditional hetero marriages.

Turned Into a Relationship Manual Halfway Through

Was hard to get into at first but after hitting my first applicable chapter I was intrigued. The lesson was clearly stated, a real life example provided, usable insight and a closing reinforcement of the lesson. You can quickly identify when it might not be of interest and skip.

Lot of insightful content inclusive of guidance

I liked the book. I do feel that while it hit many points, it was missing the in depth information on the 'how to' process.

Helpful but short

I never knew so much of my behaviors were based on situations I encountered as a child and inadvertently carried over to adulthood.

Powerful

This book is absolutely incredible. it helps you delve deeper into WHY you react to things the way you do and where the root is. It helps you recognize areas in your life you didn't pay attention to. one of my favorite things is how it mentions that sometimes we need to be the parents our parents never had.

Awareness Creator!!!
