Life-changing, Yet Simple

I related to this book more than anything I’ve ever read or listened to on the self-help subject. Every chapter simply told a story about real-life situations, and how to take a step back. Gentle education rather than “do this, not that,” and the narrator’s voice is very pleasant. I find myself listening to this book when I’m feeling anxious and I feel better just hearing the principles and encouragement.

Bipolar anxiety lessened

My fairly consistent bouts of bipolar anxiety have greatly benefiitted and definitely lessened from listening to Dr Smith’s words.

All the Topics Hit Home with Me

My life coach recommended I check out this book and ,after finishing it, I can see why. Mrs. Smith points out the common fears and stresses that leads to my own anxieties and breaks down how they can be addressed. This isn't a "magic bullet" solution, but it does offer hope and perspective for those that worry needlessly. Definitely going to be rereading this one with notes now!

Wonderful book!

As a therapist and student of Bowen theory I highly recommend this book! I’ll be giving it to my clients. It allows you to better understand yourself in your most important relationships. It also makes Bowen theory more digestible.

Highly Recommend

Entertaining as well as knowledgeable. Great for professionals and those who just want to figure their own stuff out.
