enlightening

I am only on chapter 3, or step 3 of the 10 steps. So far I have gained a very real, honest and educated understanding of emotional health. Dr. Wood has many real-life examples that make sense. Somewhere along the line you'll find a connection and thus, gain understanding. One thing she takes into consideration is...there is no one size fits all.

Useful, deep and wonderful tools ... I simply love it !

I have found this book as a wonderful tool, I am sure that it can make a difference in someone's life if they really read and use the proposed tools that it has, I have obtained really good results in my personal progress by taking into consideration many of the suggestions that Dr Wood does. Knowing yourself concepts that she proposed are effective, to the point and really clearly explained...really all the book is that way. This book is so complete mainly for someone that is looking for literature that focuses on mind, body & spirit healing.
