This Book Inspired Me To Do What It Suggests

Are you looking for a book which will provide you with help in raising children who will behave as you would like them to, and grow into emotionally mature adults and improve your emotional intelligence at the same time? Then, this is the book you have been searching for. I have never written a book review before. But, after reading this book, I felt compelled to do so. Why? Because I have read a lot of self-help books over the years and got little or nothing out of them. Either because I felt the suggestions in the books were impractical or were not necessary. However, this book is very different. It not only presents the principles which will help to improve the emotional intelligenece of you and your children in a practical, fresh, new, humorous, and imaginative way. It reached out and touched my heart in such a way that it inspired me to do what it suggests. For example, in Chapter 2 - Choose Love Over Conflict in Your Relationship With Your Children and Spouse, the following question is asked. If the world were to watch a 10-hour video of the last ten hours of interaction with your spouse and children, would you be proud of what they saw? These words touched me so profoundly that every so often I re-read this chapter. I do so to remind myself to set a good example for my children and to behave in a way that myself, my spouse, and my children can be proud of. This is just a small sample of the many suggestions and thought provoking insights this book has to offer for improving the emotional intelligence of you and your children. I highly encourage you to buy this book. You will be happy you did.
