not a question, i just want to thank Lori for writing such a life-changing book. "maybe you should talk to someone" changed my perspective and made me take action when i first read it over a year ago, and now that i'm re-reading it, once again my perspective is changing and i'm ready to take action. thank you, Lori!?

So glad to hear this! I agree that we read books differently the second time because WE change between the time we first read something and the time we come back to it. And often we pick up on something we missed the first time or see a quote we underlined differently or more impactfully. I remember writing the chapter, "How Humans Change" and hoping it would help people understand that change isn't a single decision, but an internal process, and that understanding this would help people to make changes in their lives (and take action) more effectively. Thank you for your lovely post.

There are only a few books that have really, really shifted my point of view and allowed me to reach another level of awareness. Your incredible book was one of them. It probably helped that I was going through a debilitating break-up so I could really relate. Your book, along with seeing a therapist and meditating every day has helped tremendously. Thank you so much for writing this!!! Are you writing another one?

Hi Lorie, I truly enjoyed your book, i cried and laughed and celebrated your success with you. I wondered after I finished your book, did you find it difficult to stop therapy, or do you stay in contact with your therapist? I think ending a relationship as deep as that would be difficult.
