A Life of One's Own by Marion Milner

5.0

I've had this book on my "To Read" shelf for several years...ever since it was referred to in "Simple Abundance". I'm so glad I didn't get to it until now because I was fully receptive to the message and suggestions...it came at a time when it would really resonate with me. As I read it, two things amazed me...first, I swear I am a reincarnation of the author! It was a bit eerie to come across someone - a woman who was in her 20's in the 1930's - who thinks EXACTLY like me and has the EXACT struggles. Second, this book perfectly parallels Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements", which I just read and am working hard to live by. "The Four Agreements" lets you know what you need to do, "A Life of One's Own" tells you how. Because it was the perfect "manual" for me and is helping me make some significant changes, it ranks as one of my all-time favorite books. It was, however, a tad difficult to read at times...but, every time I came to an "Ah Ha" moment, it made it all worth it!
