I spent the summer working through this book. The amount of reflection included within the exercises can feel overwhelming, and at times, I was tempted to skip over them. However, the value of the workbook is truly realized when you take the time to truly stop and think. You need to digest the lies and applicable truths as much of these are at work within your subconscious. Even now, I continue to work back through some of the exercises though we have formally finished the class.

For me, there were really only three lies that were still at work in my thinking. The others have been ones I've dealt with through life circumstances and/or working through through several books specifically focused on the lies we believe and renewing our mind with truth, over the past 6 years. Even so, I feel like I reached yet another level of contentment as I worked through this material and let go of some lingering expectations that were really based on lies. The level of empathy I have for others who are suffering has also increased, and my appreciation for the power of our mental models has increased even more.
