Chapter 3 is the heart of the book

Revisado: 10-24-22

Not a bad book. The technique is said in chapter 3 and then only the effects are referenced after that. Also, this author loves to list things.

A must-read book

Revisado: 10-15-22

I think this book applies to everyone, even those who have a great relationship. A bit church-y in the case studies, but the core message is agnostic and powerful.

Good information

Revisado: 03-25-22

Author does a great job setting the stage for how becoming a full time entrepreneur can feel and then explains the benefits to being a 10% entrepreneur. Overall a well written book with several case studies and personal anecdotes

Had to mindfully listen

Revisado: 11-11-21

This was a bit tough for me to listen to as it is super calming and I would end up daydreaming while listening. Really forced to me mindfully and deliberately listen.

Every chapter has a meditation at the end. Good for practicing.

There are better books in this genre

Revisado: 11-05-21

To be clear, I listened through the entirety of this book. The main issues that I have with it is that it gives incredibly shallow advice and anecdotal evidence with next to no citations or hypothetical situations.

The main topic, forming lifelong habits, is presented as "you should do this" without diving into why it matters. Books like "Atomic Habits" or the "Power of Habit" have actual case studies. "Peak" and "Drive" are fantastic books on what meaningful practice and motivation can do for individuals; again, case studies, actual research papers, and details that give the examples context. "Indestractable" was superior when coming up with a plan to improve focus.

Its examples were lackluster and lacked diversity. Topics like mindfulness were hardly mentioned, and self compassion was not mentioned at all.

To conclude, I would not recommend paying for this and frankly, even if it is free, your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Fantastic book

Revisado: 06-27-21

It is really helpful to finally put a name to what I feel was missing. The author uses 2 families to describe some of the most common scenarios where CEN affects relationships.

Great book if you and/or your spouse have CEN, even better if you have children of your own.

I felt that there was more attention given to talking with your parents about CEN than there was about talking with your spouse, but it could just be in how I listened to it.

An "okay" intro to understanding trauma

Revisado: 06-10-21

I think that the author is highly qualified. Due to how nuanced any individual's trauma can be, she sticks to a basic understanding of trauma, the response to stimuli, and options available for someone who has undergone traumatic events.

This book is primarily targeted to those who are survivors rather than the allies of those survivors. The "what you can do for someone with trauma" section is not very deep and I would recommend other readings.

And lastly, the cussing. Not against it, and I'm sure others will find this language helpful in expressing how they are feeling. But in its audio medium, it feels forced and ill-timed in many instances.

Overall, an okay book that is a good introduction to trauma, but if you've already got the basics, nothing new for you here.

Not my kind of story

Revisado: 03-16-21

It was just okay. Not that there is anything wrong with the story, but just not my cup of tea.
