1.0 out of 5 stars Get a Second Prescription ..., May 23, 2003

By A Customer

I love to hear Mr. Gardere on talk shows. However, this book did not provide in real concrete help. The book focused on Post-Traumatic Slavery Syndrome and how it affects our relationships as Black Americans. I could not finish the book because he did not give a prescription for healing. I was left hanging like a doctors tells me my arm is falling off but prescribes me aspirin for the pain.

The foundation of the book uses slavery again as an ailment or crutch instead of a stepping stone. I say get a second opionion from a doctor that will state the cause and a cure to an ailment.

I wish I could give it a -5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Treading in Shallow Waters, February 5, 2005

By	cielle (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This book was HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to me, but unfortunately, I did not find it highly insightful. For me, there was really no new information or insight and the examples of relationship situations seemed a little immature or unrelateable. I do think it's worth reading for those in their late teens and early 20's, or those who have not had the exposure to determine what's even considered a worthwhile relationship to pursue. Perhaps I was just expecting a deeper presentation and reflection of the issues.
