Summary: What a turnaround
Comment: This book has helped me more than anything I have read. I have been working on compassion for others, but forgot about myself. If you have any behaviors that you want to extract from your life, this will help. Self hate is certainly where I got most of my bad behaviors, and have been working on them for a while. With this book I have found the key to unlocking my self hate and put in its place compassion and self love.

Summary: Not a bad book
Comment: A somewhat useful book I must say. To go over details is useless here because the book is good only for the right reader and I think it's not intended for someone very young (not that it will hurt a young reader ) but one has to have accumulated a bit of life experience to relate to what the author talks about. However, there are imperfections: as any analyst's book it's too watery to my taste (though I gotta say, unlike the rest of similar literature he doesn't bash the reader with a profusion of citations from other authors, nor does he use creative fiction as a source of examples (the latter is the most inane habit of analytical authors.) Also, the author either needs to get him a Chicago (or any other) Manual of Style, or somehow inveigle his editors into doing more careful editing--the book is full of annoying writing mishaps that, while not really destroying the overall value of it, do impede reading and irritate. Things like saying "mitigate against" obviously instead of "militate againt", and the like; awkward passages leave a bad taste in the reader's mouth--you'd think that a medical doctor, in addition to professional competence, ought to be a literate person in general. But again, the book's not bad at all, especially if you consider that most of books falling under the self-improvement rubric is mind-bogglingly dishonest commercial junk.
