Edīte’s Reviews > The Child in You: The Breakthrough Method for Bringing Out Your Authentic Self > Status Update

This book looks very interesting. Hope you're enjoying it @Edite

Yes, I’m pacing myself and doing the exercises — it’s really eye-opening!

Nice. That's like the book The Magic, or the Secret, from Rhonda Byrne. Have you heard of those? Also, would you recommend this book?

I prefered The Four Agreements over the Secret. Or Paulo Coelho.

This book is way less spiritual and more clinical.

If you catch your self "not acting as a adult" and want to work on it, then this book is beneficial.
