Quintessential self-help, or, how to sort yourself out by yourself.

What new can I say about this classic? Essentially it's about your beliefs and patterns of behaviour and how they impact your relationships.

Sondra Ray puts the responsibility entirely on you – “the mistake people make is forgetting that their thoughts produce results all the time.” She a strong advocate of affirmations, recommending you write them out interspersed with objections until resistance disappears – quite an effective process.

She wants you to love yourself, love your body, handle anger and suppressed negativity, tell the truth faster, clear up your destructive relationship patterns, give up guilt, get clear on God, money and sex, treat others with kindness, and surrender to life.

"Love brings up anything unlike itself.”

"Love always heals… if you let it.”

I think this book is still one of the best fast track reads to righting your relationship with everything that's meaningful in life, especially yourself.
