Reader comments
Like a friend of mine who always had problems in relationships and after reading this book she started to understand that it might have something to do with her personality. The book also mentions the influence of parents on children's personality, which reminded me of my own growth experience and made me pay more attention to the way I educate my children. I particularly liked the part about self-realization in the book, which gave me a lot of inspiration on how to better pursue my goals. In short, this is a very valuable book and I recommend it to everyone!
