This book really took me by surprise. I started reading about consumerism, debt, clutter and relationships and soon found myself learning about health, diet, exercise, creativity, and forgiveness. I also found helpful information about finances, college education, electronics as tools vs. distractions, and personality types. Furthermore, I was not expecting the in-depth self-analysis in the different areas of life. The authors do a great job integrating a large diversity of topics in their book, making them relevant to the main subject of relationships. The book is easy to read, and it flows nicely. Additionally, the authors make reference to other sources of information throughout the book if the reader wants to learn more about some of the topics.
From the beginning, the authors use real life stories to make a connection to their readers through issues that most of us see as a normal part of life. Throughout the book, they give the reader a different perspective on a wide variety of issues. The authors include end-chapter sections as tools to help the reader take a closer look at their own life, making it easier to create a plan of action to implement if the reader chooses to work in any or all relationship areas: stuff, truth, self, values, money, creativity and people. Even if the reader chooses not to apply the information found in this book, it will give them a different perspective not only to their relationships, but also to how they view the world around them and how they see themselves. This book will change people’s lives, if given a chance. It has changed the way I view my life, and it has helped me to be more aware of what's truly important to me.
