Review of The Phoenix Cups
Posted: 08 Feb 2023, 03:30
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Phoenix Cups" by Christopher Phoenix and Sandi Phoenix.]
The Phoenix Cups by Sandi Phoenix and Christopher Phoenix is a book written by a couple. The central message of this book is about what motivates people to act the way they do. This book presents the idea that each human needs five Phoenix Cups, which represent five basic human needs, to have their lives changed for the better. This book lists the basic human needs as the need for safety, the need for connection, the need for freedom, the need for mastery, and the need for fun. The rest of the chapters focused on explaining, in detail, each of the Phoenix Cups' characteristics. This book also discussed self-overcoming and finding one's true self.
This book is unique because it is a combination of fiction and what happened in real life. One thing I like about this book is the storytelling nature the authors adopted to explain the concepts in it. This book did not just start to explain difficult concepts; it embedded them between conversations for easy understanding.
I was very emotional as I read Chapter 12 of this book. The scene in this chapter featured Jack when he was giving Frank reasons to forgive his father. I understood from this chapter that people will easily forget a thousand good deeds at the expense of one bad one. Parents are humans too, and they are not infallible. It would be appropriate for children to forgive their parents if they wronged them. Also, this book has a theme of forgiveness. I learned a lot from the way Frank took ownership and apologized to Dan after invading her privacy.
Another thing I like about this book is that it stylishly embeds some further reading and book recommendations in the conversations between Frank and Dan. Some of the recommended readings from this book are works by great writers like Dr. Susan Jeffers, Dr. William Glasser, Epicures, etc.
This book's authors are suspense experts. There are a lot of suspenseful scenarios in this book. For example, I couldn't predict whether Frank could summon the courage to ask Dan for forgiveness or not.
I enjoyed the storytelling style that the author employed to drive home his intended message. I commend the editors for doing a professional job with the editing. Furthermore, to make sure this book was accessible to a wider audience, the author used very simple words in the writing of this book. I don't think there is any part of this book that I dislike. Judging from the above, I will gladly give this book a rating of five out of five stars.
Finally, I recommend this book first to human capacity developers. The content of this book will provide enough knowledge to motivate their audience to better understand and live life. This book can also pass as a self-help book because its central message is focused on knowing the reasons why we behave the way we do. I can recommend this book to anyone looking for a refreshing self-help book.
