So you want to get serious?

This is the book for anyone who wants to seriously understand why we operate the way we do in our culture and for anyone battling through any kind of depression or life-angst. It helped me to understand my relationships with everyone in my life, most importantly myself and that unmentionable fear that makes life all too hard to live sometimes. It really is a gift to the world.

If only I had found this book earlier,

After all the psycho babble and clap trap of therapists and experts over the last 15 years, I now finally understand my own behaviour and can use my own knowledge to continue to learn and grow. Dorothy Rowe cuts to the chase and allows us to develop our own thinking as she gives us invaluable insights on the human condition. The depth of this woman's knowledge is extraordinary. This 75 year Aussie got voted one of the sixth wisest people in the UK, so the secret is out. Run and get this book

This it it! Don't Bother with any other book. Dynamite Wisdom!!!!!!!!!!

After 15 years in the therapy business, and several hundred books on psychology later, (most of them unforgettable except for one or two points) I can state with some authority, that Dorothy Rowe's wisdom is indisputable. She guides you into understanding your deepest fears and deepest secrets and learning to truly love yourself. Not in the 10 easy steps false positive way that is so popular in current psychology, but in ironically both the most simplest way - in appreciating how important understanding whether we feel good or bad as humans is, and in also the most complex as she builds on our belief systems inherited from childhood to the desperate defences we use in order to survive. Every American should read how she explains "so-called" mental illnesses and truly changes lives by helping others to remember how much they know or how to take control of their lives out of the hands of 'experts', and back into the person who really knows best if only they get support and trust in their own thinking. Power to you Maryanne Campbell

Great!

I think this book is a great asset to the people living day to day with Schizophrenia. I live with it every day and it is very hard to cope with it and having a brother with it.
