This review is from: Journey to Joy: A Guide to Finding Peace, Happiness and Purpose (Paperback)

Since my late teens, I've been reading self-help books and inspirational books and buying the self-hypnosis tapes and whathaveyou. They were very good and helped me ride out one bad experience after the other. But I have to say this book is different. I can't really put my finger on what it is about it, but it made me stop cold and look at my life and myself. It wasn't hard. It wasn't like a quiz or anything like some of the other books I've tried. It just made me stop and realise that no matter whatever happened to me in the past or what I did to hurt myself in the past, I was a wonderful person (in the past I'd never be so brave to say that) and I deserved to have a happy life. And now, finally, with this book I'm learning how to have just that.
