Great Book!, April 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: When Your Best Isn't Good Enough (Paperback)
This book has been a TREMENDOUS help for me!! I have really been able to recognize myself over and over again throughout the pages. Although some examples are to do with dating I still was able to recognize the main problem/idea and use it for myself. It was really important to me to be able to understand why I was reacting in certain ways and Mr. Lemon helped me to see this. Also, when everyone in your family just acts a certain way it is hard to know how anyone else would normally and healthily react. I am very glad to have a good example to follow.
I really enjoy reading Kevin Lemon's books - even though I was given this book for Valentine's Day from my husband. This would probably NOT be something Mr. Lemon would recommend - perhaps we ought to read his book "Sex Begins in the Kitchen"! However, this has really been a terrific gift and I have been able to improve many things in my life. I am so thankful and we are all better for it! I certainly did not want to pass down any of my bad habits/reactions to my children and so now I can gladly say that I won't!
Being a "defeated perfectionist" is certainly no fun and I'm glad that I have been able to get away from that more and more and live life much more fruitfully.
