This book gives you a great insight in what it is important in life and inspires you to take charge of your own life and happiness. It helped me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I recommend it highly.

This book helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. It made me look at myself in a totally new way, and I came away with such an improved image of myself and my life that I am now truelly happy! Something I thought impossible a year ago. I am not a deeply religious person and that is not a necessity even though the author is a Catholic priest. I have passed it on to my children and hope it will give them a positive start on their young lives.

I am 19, and this book has opened my eyes so that I know what I want and need to make my life happy. I need to be a whole person on my own. This book is astounding. It is dissected into 10 easily understood categories and each one leaves a lasting impression. After reading this book there is no way you can forget the messages that have become so deeply ingrained in your soul.

Appropriate for anyone high school age or over. Full of revelations about self-image, getting free from "what other people think", learning to love and appreciate yourself, learning to trust yourself, and so much more great stuff we all need to know. You read it and say, "That's so true! How could I have been missing that all these years?!?" Get yourself in good working order and then you might be able to tackle the rest of the world...or live in it anyway, without getting beat up yourself! Easy read, in a day or over several weeks. Lots of food for thought. A life-changing book! Would be great on audio, like to listen to while in the car!

This book is an excellent one for anyone who wants to take control of their life and be truly happy. The author makes the reader think about what is really important in life and directs one to complete many activities which help you to achieve true happiness. A definite must read!!

This book is a well written reminder for people who feel the need to always please everyone except themselves. I think we all need to remember to listen to our "adult selves" when making decisions in our lives, big or small. Above all it helps to teach that we have power and control over our emotions and our own happiness. It was a very uplifting book without being a heavy-read! Lisa V.

A pretty good little self-help book that leads us to reflect on what might be hindering us in becoming truly happy. I like the author's recognition, especially in the last chapter, of the importance of the spiritual life, especially prayer. He also has a very interesting discussion of Alcoholics Anonymous and how faith in God is important in overcoming our own psychological limitations and addictions.

My ex and I have split up 9 times in 15 years. I started reading Mr. Powell's books about three weeks ago. I have learned so much from John Powell's series already that I believe my ex and I will be able to try one more time to make it work due to these books and the improvement we see in each other and communication already. I was truly inspired by his books to learn about myself, my loved ones, and God. Thanks so much Mr. Powell!!!!

The above book I ordered arrived in a timely manner.
And in better shape than I expected. I am very pleased with the service I received both from the vendor and Amazon themselves.
