An entirely NEW perspective !!!

Revisado: 04-06-25

I hope I can remember all of what is contained within this book but I plan to listen to it at least one more time and more, if needed. Life lessons. Things I wish I had learned in school. This book is FULL of important life skills, akin to knowing how to balance a checkbook and complete your tax form(s). This information is just as important for your mental and emotional health as taxes and checkbooks are for your financial well-being. READ OR LISTEN TO THIS BOOK!!!

disgusting

Revisado: 12-19-24

this book is not the least bit erotic. I thought it would have a point to it but it's just listening to p*** basically. he did this to me and this to me and I fantasize about doing this to him then this to him. yes, it does contain details so if that's what you're into then go for it.

SUCH a good book!! Easy listening. It gave me a much needed different outlook on love. As fiction as it may be, I was sucked right in. I highly recommend!!

Fantastic!! I like when people write about small town U. S. A.

Revisado: 11-30-23

This doctor truly cared about the field of emergency medicine. He didn't use it as a stepping stone to a specialty or move to a big city. He liked small town U. S. A. and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. He knew a lot of his patients' life stories from his years of seeing them come thru the ER. Who takes the time to learn about one patient, let alone a hundred? I would say, although this man likely never would, that he was a much beloved not only doctor, but friend. He probably took his family to the local fair and the farmer's market. He was no high class broad, although he could have been. This man realizes the true meaning of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. God bless him!

Blessed?!? Yes!!!

Revisado: 11-06-23

This book gave me a different outlook, an entirely different perspective on where I am now versus where I think I ought to be. I could have been in Jaycee's shoes, just as anyone. While I still struggle with accepting the fact that I am not where I want to be, I think about where Jaycee was when she got rescued. She had absolutely nothing to her name, a fifth grade education, and two daughters for which to care as a single mom in a world that was overwhelming, considering that she had spent 18 years in solitary. She had to start from square one 29 years old and even had to get to know her real family as if they were strangers bc it had been so long. I find that most days seem so long. However, comparing my long days to 18 years, I know I will survive. If Jaycee can have a such an incredible zest for life and considering herself blessed despite all that she has had to endure, then I can get through one long day after the next. At least I can freely choose to change my situation. May God bless Jaycee and her girls in the years to come. I am so glad I chose to hear her story.

Sad, relatable, and funny.

Revisado: 09-23-23

I really wish I had the financial cushion to remain in bed for a year, even if people think I am crazy. Meh. Water under the bridge. I felt sorry for Eva, although the way in which she conducted herself throughout most of the book was hilarious! "I'm not crazy! I just need a break!" AMEN, sister! But no one would believe her. I think so many of us are right there with her, myself included. The demands of life and family in this day and time are overwhelming for a lot of people, myself included. When I think about what I have to do in the week ahead, I sigh and get a sickening feeling. Although I always get through it, I almost never get everything done that needed to be or that I had planned. That hasn't happened in at least a year. I do not have much zest for life but living alone for four years has a way of doing that to a person, although I've been alone in my mind for much longer. I think that's where Eva is and was throughout her infidelity-filled marriage. I was married once myself and like Eva, I too was alone even then. We didn't have much in common, failed to understand each other, and frankly, neither of us cared enough about the other to even try. That is where Eva and Brian were, I think, especially since Eva was willing to move in his mistress without a second thought, as long as she could have their room. This is another reminder of how money can't buy happiness, the ideal family can be miserable, and getting some on the side is the rule and not the exception these days, only to learn that side piece(s) are far from perfect themselves. What are we really trying to find?

The absolute BEST book I've listened to in YEARS!

Revisado: 06-18-23

I cannot say enough good things about this book. It changed my perspective on life and I just couldn't stop listening, even when I wasn't supposed to be listening or had other things to do. I have always wondered myself, why in the world would anyone want to work in hospice care? I know the service is needed; I just believed hospice workers to be "birds of a different feather." I mean, why would you want to sit and watch people die day in and day out, yet not do anything to intervene? I thought it had to be a special kind of torture. Yet, after listening to this book, although I have zero medical training, it makes ME want to become a hospice nurse and I never saw myself as even a regular nurse before this point. I am more open to the belief that sometimes people grow tired of medical intervention that is only prolonging their misery and they are ready to go. They just want to be surrounded by the people they love and die in peace instead of being hooked up to IV's, monitors, and everything else hospital-related. I already knew, as we all do, that death is inevitable but the fear of death doesn't have to be. A peaceful passing is nearly always achievable but without hospice, there would be much more unnecessary suffering, simply bc it is company (hospital) policy to repeatedly conduct vital and heart checks, etc. Hospice exempts a person from all of that, rightfully so when they are dying anyway. I believe the least a person deserves from having endured ruthless ailments and diseases is a comfortable death. My sincere thanks to ALL of the hospice workers out there. You are grossly underappreciated. I hope you feel a sense of pride in what you do and why bc you are true angels on earth. God bless you all.

One awesome book!!

Revisado: 06-03-23

I learned more from this self-help book than I have from anything else in a very long time. The author gives techniques that work instead of just talking about changing ourselves for the better, yet leaving us wondering, How do we do that?!? He gives tried and true answers that can be applied in real life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with procrastination like myself.

What a great resource!!!

Revisado: 05-07-23

This book held my interest from beginning to end. I have been in and on again off again (discarding/love bombing) relationship with someone that I whole-heartedly believe to be a narcissist for around four years. I finally ended it a little over a month ago. My heart aches but as many times as I have been discarded in the past, this is not the hardest time I've ever had. There was a point where I just wanted to die and did not have a clue how I would make it through this so-called breakup. I mean, it was as real as anything else to me and phenomenal at first. I just knew we were meant to be but the fact is, he could be an award-winning actor. He is that good at his game. Enough about me, but I will say that because of my experience, this book gave me some tips that I found helpful in closing the book for good, and burning it. The fact that he never even liked me, let alone love me, was very hard to hear but I know it's the God's honest truth. He only loved what he could take from me. I can only pray that I do better next time and not fall hard before recognizing the signs. If it feels too good to be true on that first day or even first week, it probably is. Thank you! Keep writing.
