i think this is good for beginner. Go to Section14
This book is for beginners like me. I would skip to section 14 where the real Q and A about your childhood or past starts.
Audible books are difficult for flipping through the book. So we end up wasting time but
we just do our best.
The book give suggestions how to be a better person and live a healthier life.
I do think this is a helpful book.
Sometimes all you need is a bit of help to get you going.
I recommend this book.
