Customer Reviews

This book changed my life in innumerable positive ways.

This book unlocked doors in my mind that I didn’t even know I had built. I stopped getting angry at people. I stopped doing drugs. I stopped feeling overwhelmed and depressed at my personal life and the state of the world. I stopped feeling suicidal and worn down. If you are struggling, there is absolutely no reason to not read this book. It is a literal life saver. Bless Pete Walker and the wonder he has created.

OMG I found a book that describes me to a T.

I have many self-help books over the years, but this one by far touched me in a way I cannot describe. I finally learned why I behave the way I do and avoid things. I have taken my time reading this because it is not a book you just read and then you are done. I have stopped along the way to digest the meaning and examine myself to see how some of my actions or in action are survival techniques I learned to use in order to survive in my home. Now I know what is wrong with me, I have worked on myself over the years got clean and sober but I knew there was something not quite right. As I read this book I felt like someone was reading my thoughts and knew that this author knew how I felt because he had felt the same way. This book gave me hope, because I was beginning to lose hope. If you have experienced abuse of any kind in your house of origin, I urge you to read this book.
