Helpful Score: 1


I loved this book and ordered it after reading the copy from the library. Although there may be many things in here that I've heard before, I really connected with this book at this time in my life. As a recovered self help addict, I appreciated the idea that we are not broken and do not need fixing. The eating guidelines are not new but this time I really saw and committed to them. The techniques to identify underlying causes may also be repeats from other authors, treatment programs, spiritual paths, but this time they made sense. Geneen says if you connect, go for it, if you don't, discard it and find what does work for you. I recommend this book for those of you who are burned out on programs that tell you that you are not enough, good enough, wise enough or otherwise damaged. Implementing the principles in this book will be a welcomed challenge especially letting go of my story after over 26 years in programs that keep us stuck in the story. If you connect as I did, the adventure begins and an exciting one at that.
