challenging emotional informative tense slow-paced

3.0

This book was very interesting and I learned a lot about myself. However, I found it incredibly hard to get through as the content is very dense. It reminded me of my psychology textbooks from when I was in university. I recommended this book to those willing to put in the work and time to read it.

Such a good book.

Honestly, thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
It's so accessible and easy to read. Minimal jargon if at all. The personal anecdotes and the stories he shared of clients made the reading experience just so much more enjoyable and breezy. I was entertained the whole way. I feel like I learnt a lot.
