A Worth Reading Book
Despite that there is a great deal of psychological terms, the book is not difficult to read.
The problem that the author has been facing, I trust, is common to all. The responses of the average people to conflicts and dissensions may not be as ‘violent’ as the author, but throwing nasty words at each other, showing looks/gestures of disapproval should not be uncommon. Relationships, if not ruined, got tense and nobody is happy in the end.
The book carries a positive message that there are ways to deal with conflicts and disagreements though it is not easy. This very message brings hope to this tumultuous world. I recommend this book to people of all age, especially those who wish to make peace with themselves and those who wish to make the world a happier place to live in.
