Life Changing

Wonderful. Life saving. If you dont know how to love your self this is an excellent tool to help you on your journey. The narrator is excellent to boot! Just the right calming yet motivating tone.

Couldn't keep my attention

The author of this book does something utterly unique in the world of books about love: He starts out by firmly settling scores against a former reviewer and his old editor. Then proceeds to drop names (Oprah Winfrey, anyone? Shakti Gawain?) before talking about himself and his feelings. I usually love it when people share insights and epiphanies, but there's a major disconnect between what I was seeking and what the author is offering. I kept trying to listen, but he couldn't keep my attention.

To be fair to Gay Hendricks, I did give up in the middle of chapter three. Much of what he presents as novel and new is what most girls figure out in their teens, which is fine. His experience is his experience and he has a right to it, and it has obviously helped thousands of people on similar journeys.

I think the real problem here is not any flaw of the author's; more that the book and message just wasn't what I hoped it would be or what I needed right now.
