I stumbled on this book by accident and I am glad I did. This book shows you what to look for destructive behaviour in others and what to do in order to prevent any feelings of guilt shame or inadequacy from manifesting itself in you. I have been affected by a convert wounded bird for years taking the blame and suddenly after reading the insights in this book I freed myself from feelings of guilt and shame that I should not have felt.The only drawback of the book is that it does not go into great detail as to how to deal with any of the manifestations that may exist within yourself. The book builds you up for that but only leaves you with one short chapter on the topic near the end. Also the book would be better if it gave more effective strategies for dealing with the various forms of these manifestations in others and how to help them. Otherwise a great book for recognizing those that may be of great harm to you. It's a must if your life depends on dealing with people.

The reason I like this work is that it is perfect timing for forward thinkers who are up on EQ (Emotional Intelligence) that know that resourcing your contacts and connections are becoming oh so more important these days. It's a road map to yourself and others and you will find yourself in this book no matter who you are. It is a perfect preamble to enid Vien's other books that are equally enlightening such as Healing Spirit and Soul Mates. I recommend her books to readers who are up to challenging themselves to further personal and spiritual growth and who are ready to begin a staircase towards enlightenment.If you have difficulty with others and are wanting a good road map to locomote a better relationship to - then these books are for you. If you are simply interested in getting to know others better and relate a pattern of interaction with them so that you can experience further reality don't miss out. Mood Swings is a grand edition to my company's training program and I recommend it to any human services adminstrator or professional - it's more than cutting edge. It's cool ferocious.Ken Payne, Columbus Group LLC - Personeer. The Best at match-making the Best with the Best.
