review 1: Sometimes you find books, other times, books find you. This stuck out at me on my way through the bookstore the other day and pulled it down. About a half an hour later and almost halfway through the book, I decided to purchase and take it home. It really was nailing some pretty great insights into my own life/actions that I had previously been unable to really articulate or get my mind around. The writing may be a little repetitive at times, but the core nuggets of information, namely his concept of the "Toxic Trio" of Denial, Delusion and Blame are gold. In trying to be an observer of oneself in order to create space for more happiness in life, its amazing how simple this concept is. It helped me troubleshoot the source of much of my confusion about understanding how pe... moreople react to me without a ton of psychobabble and mumbo jumbo. More importantly, it also enabled me to separate the feelings of pain and discomfort as being anything other than the markers of change in my life - for the positive.
review 2: I picked up this book expecting less than what I took away from it, namely a constructive resolution model that is actually workable. One thing I loved about this book was how Alasko didn't pull any punches, he was clear and concise about what emotional bullshit is and isn't, and why it's so damaging. Because it's a psychology-based self-help book it's inevitable that Alasko reiterates his points but once you internalize those it's easier to see how much truth is in his simple tenets. I think most anyone could benefit from having a little less emotional bullshit in their lives and this book is great at identifying what to watch out for. less
