Good advice? or too obvious?

This book really made me think and that's what I think it would be used best as--a point to start thinking deeply about your childhood. I fit damn near every "lifetrap" in the book and I didn't know if that was really accurate or if I really am a basketcase!

The case studies they had as examples were dry & boring. Felt very white-bread. But I'm all for any approach that uses active exercises to make change, rather than just RECOGNIZING that you have problems and that's automatically gonna revamp your life. You've gotta WORK at it.

Furthermore, I felt they tried to cram too much advice into each chapter--some of the "lifetraps" can be a whole separate book! But as the authors instruct, you can follow similar exercises to get over all your "lifetraps".

Worth adding to your self-help library and esp. if you can get it at a good price!

Great book for different cultures!

On top of what's been written of how great the book is, I want to add something else here. I grew up in a very different culture where a little girl being hitted a few times a week by parents were commonly accepted as a way to discipline children. I am just amazed how this book can be as acceptable and helpful for people growing up from a very different culture.

Finally - Permanent change!

I have struggled with emotional issues off and on for my entire life. I've had counseling and have read a number of self-help books. This book has finally given me the tools I've needed to figure out the sources of my hurt and unexpected reactions to everyday events. For the first time I understand where it all comes from. And I've proven the author's suggestions work - time and time again. Now I'm buying copies for my family and a friend. But it's only as good as you are in applying yourself to the assignments. Not easy - but hooray! I feel free at last!

Strictly Average, Didn't Help/Didn't Hurt

Phoned a couple of sources affiliated with this book but could never find out what other prior works this book was based on. Rather dry reading, can't say it helped me but it might help you. Very affordable.
