 More of stories than actual cures December 17, 2008

I bought this book to attempt to help myself out of, you guessed it, my bad habits. I tend to get jealous, angry, and extremely bitter during the course of a day, to the point where I start taking my rage out in the form of cold shoulders to my friends and family. So I bought this to help me attempt to fix this.
What I found is more of the author's actual patient's stories (under an annoymous name of course) than actual steps to fix my habits. For the Inferiority chapter, for example, the author explains how the patient had an abusive husband who put all of his faults on her, making her feel inferior. She goes on to tell how she overcame this. But I'm not her, I don't have an abusive husband, so I can't really connect to this example. And there's not much beyond that.
The author also is in a way using a broken record technique to enforce her advice on you. You read one chapter, then in the next, she basically states the main idea of the previous chapter and applies it to this one. It gets very repitious.
Call me mislead, but I thought this book would help me break my habits, not tell me how others visited a phychiatrist and overcame their own.
 My favorite book September 19, 2008

I have owned at least 4 of these books and constantly talk about it. I have given them as gifts and some have been borrowed and never returned. Over the past 5 years I have recommended this book to all of my friends. It is great for anyone who has broken up with someone or who just feels down in the dumps. It is very uplifting and if you can actually make a change in your life this book will help you. Trust me!
 Very Helpful. September 9, 2008

This review goes out to the person(s)who are constantly lurking on my profile page and dropping negative votes.
Insecure people and those who are not happy with themselves often take their insecurities and misfortunes out on others, and I thought this book would be helpfull to that mysterious person(s)who feel that they are gaining something by giving me bad votes. This person needs to relize that I'm not the sorce of their unhappiness, and only they can make the nessasary decitions to correct their own problems.
Everyone in the world has obsticles to overcome, some more severe than others, and life isn't fair, but you have to make the best of the time you're given!!! It makes me angry to see superficial rich people(like that B.S. Bravo 'Housewife' show)complain about non-existant issues, but what they do is of no concern to me, and it has absolutly no effect on my life what so ever. So having said that, do you think lurking and stalking me(online)and trying to sabatoge my reviews is going to change anything and make you happy??? Get a life dude, find a job that makes you happy, go to school and get a degree, kiss a girl, and most of all, GROW UP!!!!!!

It just wasn't. the book is for single people who like to party and sleep around... I'm not any of these things. It sounded like a mature book but turned out to be a bunch of stuff I already know about life.
