Cool majors. :) I agree that there is no "rocket science" here. The style of the book is cute and enjoyable to read. I generally am not a fan of self-help books either.

Wow, 2 Psych majors here. You both could start a subgroup here and discuss why we all like to discuss books. Why do we feel we have to discuss books? ha ha ha

Great review! I'm not sure the book is my cup of tea, but the review does make it seem interesting!

Thanks Jesska. As far as self-books go, this one had a unique and interesting format.

All of you psych majors would probably like this book. There are interesting discussions about the way people behave in different situations and positive ways to change.

That's what I was wondering, and wanted to ask the reviewer, was there anything in this book that was innovative and something you had never heard before? I can't stand it when self help books regurgitate information that's been said a hundred times over.

Although there wasn't any amazing breakthrough info in this book, I did enjoy the way the author incorporated little stories of clients and friends to illustrate a point.

I've never read a self-help book, but if I ever feel the need to, I'll look into this one.
