I'm VERY intrigued if this is the same author who wrote "I healed my sons of autism and you can too...." because if so... I'm concerned.

I think the premise of this book was good and there were some good reflective activities. It sometimes felt a little prescriptive of this WILL be your experience, when the book appears only to be written abut one individuals experience. If you don't have access to therapy I think this could be beneficial but overall I found it very simplistic.
