Another Insightful and Practical Masterpiece of Dr. Goulston

What I appreciate about Dr. Goulston’s books is his not only sharing valuable and insightful information, but putting his heart in his words. As an author, Dr. Goulston truly cares about the reader and does this best to give them all they need to change their own lives and help others to change their lives for better. Dr. Goulston even included specific action steps to made it easier for the reader. If you are an action taker, you can’t fail following the practical advice in this book.

Wishing you success in implementing what you learn from Dr. Goulston!

Overwhelming

Feels like this book was written just for me. Thanks for the awesome breakdown. Uncanny

A must Listen! I took so many notes!

Mark, this book is amazing! I have read and listened to so many self help books over the years and I am surprised by how much I still took away. You are a brilliant man and a genuine soul. This book inspired me to reach out to my father and finally tell him that I loved him for the first time in 30 years. I have already recommended this book to many friends, family and associates. I can’t wait to listen to your other books! Congratulations on a job well done on your life’s work and this amazing book! Thank you so much! :-)

Loved it

Great structure (argument, usable insight, taking action), great examples, straightforward ideas meant to awaken one to understanding and taking new approaches to daily challenges. Performance not at all monotonous (there is always 1.25/1.5 speed available for those who are in a hurry:)). The author's training and clinical experience was also a criterion when choosing the book. Very satisfied with my purchase

Very Good Book!

This is a very good book. You may not realize how many of these behaviors you exhibit until you listen. That’s how it was for me. Very good insights and action suggestions.

Great Educational Piece on living life

Very well thought out work on self improvement and taking control of your outlook and outlook comes.of your life. This book is a must read for anyone suffering from moving forward with their life. It's a be "the driver of your life not a passenger" type of work. Great Audible selection.

Highly Recommended

This book really challenged you to look at yourself and what it is you are doing that is impacting your life. Not in a guilt or shame way, but in one where you realize you need to give yourself and others grace and understanding while working through changes.

Great advice

The narration can be a bit snooze worthy but overall if was a fun and informative read.

Perfect perspective

This book helped me understand myself better in all ways. I think taking notes while listening to rhese books is best.

Good Advice Given in an Understandable Format

This book contains significant advice and direction for a variety of self-defeating behaviors. It is easy to listen to although it is somewhat clinical or theoretical in nature. I would recommend it and found it helpful but it is not necessarily an easy, flowing book to read.
