5.0 out of 5 stars Real help for moving on, July 7, 2002

By A Customer

Up till now surviving a breakup meant obsessing on the person until time faded the pain. These daily readings, from a wide variety of sources, help steer people toward actively looking at their own thoughts and behaviors. By giving this reader plenty to gnaw on, it began to move her away from the "poor, victimized me" syndrome.
When I got divorced I needed something on my bedside table I could open up and read at any time, especially in the middle of the night when the biggest demons come out to play. I find this book soothing yet firm, and always positive. It always leads me forward, not back. It helps me see that life can really be different and better, and that I can create my own circumstances. What a powerful notion, and I have started to put it to work.
This is not a book I plan to put away when I finish it. Even now, when I reread certain passages, I come away with new interpretations and ideas, and I can see my own progress.
