Reviews

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is excellent at diagnosis. It is weak though in mentioning studies...so and so says this...but gives no conclusions. Perhaps that's because Knaus himself is rather open ended there and his worst fault is he is very abbreviated on problem solving. He does give some solid advice but most of this is hard behavioural change stuff that would require more than reading the book once. Perhaps several times is needed with highlighting of the pertinent parts. 3.5 stars.
