What a moving book. Our author, Jan S. Maizler explores many regions of our existence, allows us to delve deep into our own fears, and find a great reason to be alive and confronting our problems. We should read this as youngsters, just like he remarks. Our mental and spiritual health depend on knowing who we are. But why do we spend so little time remembering, thinking, and knowing ourselves.
His premise is that the foundation on which we build relationships, friendships, and all we do in life, is that we have to know ourselves. Be a whole person before we can ask anything from anyone else is such a down-to-earth approach to all the self-help books out there that want you to shout that is all your fault and beat yourself up over the enabling and overloving.
Like a workbook, we can refer to this book and re-read it. And it is just not written for women, who may be the biggest audience for books like this; it is non-gender written. I have been reading it over and over again because it is a great tool to break on through to the other side. The author is no novice to counseling and giving advice. He has outstanding credentials and has a long-standing practice in Miami.
So many times you find yourself in a relationship that is less in touch with your reality than you want to believe. But you continue it because maybe for the moment, it makes you feel better than not having one.
Jan makes us take a different approach and allows the reader to believe in themselves. He doesn't make you feel bad because we are not perfect. This is the kind of book that makes me feel better and I hope that there are more readers like myself that want to find truth and happiness and realize that it is inner happiness that allows you to be a good person, walking on this planet.
