Description sounds great, but I have to admit that this kind of biographies are most definitely not my cup of tea. I am uncomfortable with delving in such social issues, so I think I better skip this one. Congratulations with BOTD!

While I am glad that you found the book beneficial, I am a bit burnt out on self-help books. Nothing about this one stands out as being wildly different from any other self-help book I've read.

After telling her life story, the author begins to aid readers to learn from her mistakes and offers tools to enhance life. She has a system called the 6 Cs that she uses when making weighted decisions. By Utilizing the 6 Cs (Care, Compassion, Control, Concern, Consideration, and Communication), the ability to avoid dependent behavior and negativity is effortless. The author clarifies codependency as more than just depending on other people. One such example given was "avoidance: some codependent people engage in unhealthy, extreme ways to avoid getting emotionally hurt, avoiding intimacy at all cost". I had to stop and reread that sentence several times thinking I can't really be considered codependent? I don't rely on anyone for my happiness, nor lack thereof; sure as day, avoidance is a very unhealthy coping behavior. She advises in the chapter that being aware is the first step in recovery.

I also use a group of Cs to help with my indecisiveness. The 3 C's in life: Choice, Chance, Change. You must make the Choice, to take the Chance, if you want anything in life to Change. It's something I found while roaming the internet years ago and it stuck with me. I have to give this book a try.

I'm glad the author wrote this book to prevent people from making similar mistakes she made. I also liked that she proposed a system called the 6 Cs in order to help people avoid making decisions they would regret. Great book. Congrats on Botd.

Intriguing! It's always fascinating to learn new things every day. I've now learned about the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Control, Concern, Consideration, and Communication, and I would try and use them as a guide in my life going forward.

Many thanks for the great review and it's so encouraging to see that Dee was able to turn her life around for the better.

The author must have gone through a lot during her childhood. I feel really bad but it's great to see that they are doing better.

This book sounds amazing. I love how Dee JC candidly shared her life up and down with readers. I always go for self-help books that I can relate to and this book is one I would read anytime any day.

A nice an motivating book indeed. The guide of c6 seems really helpful. And the writing style of the author would make anyone take a second look at their personalities. Thanks for an excellent review.
