This book has helped me take a look at the man I didn’t like. As I looked, I fell in love and since that day, my life has gotten better and better. The material in the boom helped me help myself. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have better relationships.

Great book! Also healing and insightful for people with insecure attachment styles.
Although I was never affected by addiction or compulsive disorder (and I originally misunderstood to whom this book was adressed oops), I greatly benefited from reading it! The contents were surprisingly, if not shockingly, insightful and really applicative for me, a person with anxiously preoccupied attachment. This was the first book I read to start my healing journey and I found it to be a smooth and nurtruring introduction. Especially helpful were the contents on detachment, the illusion of control and setting personal boundries. The author's warm, yet direct way of expression practically called me to reflect on my life's choices. When I started journaling to some of the prompts listed at the end of each chapter, it became very apparent to me which changes had to be made in my life. Moreover, the examples, experiences and stories shared by the author really highlighted the messages conveyed throughout the book and helped me to relate to them personally. Ultimately, I really did learn a lot. The book is well-written and very interesting to read. Though, if used for self-help, I recommend reading 1-2 chapters at a time and then taking some time to refelct. Not only can the contents be quite confrontational but also, the learning process will likely benefit if breaks are used for process, journal if not even to take action. Hope this helps.
