- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very simply put, I loved this book.
Dr. Julie starts off by stating the objective of the book: help people figure out what's going on on their own when they have no access to therapy for some reason or the issue is not as serious for you to seek the help of a therapist. So the book is in essence, quite literally a self help book which gives very practical guidance on how you can work on yourself on your own and those who are close to you to improve your life.
It's written in very simple language in such a way that the contents can be easily read and understood by anyone who have no clue or background knowledge in psychology or any related field. So this is not for anyone who is looking for in depth scientific explanations on why we feel what we feel. It is rather a guidebook for every day human. Love it!1 person found this helpful
