Summary: Makes you think
Comment: I loved reading this. It really makes you think about your relationships with others. It helps you see people in a different light and be more sensitive to their needs. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 1
Summary: Overrated
Comment: There are several issues I have with this book:
--This book should come with a large, bold, underlined disclaimer that it is not for victims of abuse. Only too late in the book does the author make this point. Being abused is not your fault; you are not "asking" for it.
--This book did not encourage me to improve myself. Instead, I felt like it was almost hopeless to try to improve, because it was so complicated!
--Also, this book claims to not fall in the trap of all the "self-..." books, however, it is obsessed with "self-deception". If it truly was not a "self-..." book it would have placed a larger emphasis on losing yourself in service for others, instead of being consumed with reflections on your faults.
If you wish to improve yourself without the complication, Gordon B. Hinckley's "Standing for Something" actually encourages realistic improvements and makes you feel that you have potential to be a great person.

Summary: Tough, But Worth It
Comment: I struggled through the first 100 pages of this book. Not because it was difficult to read or understand, but it was difficult to look at myself the way the author suggests. Like struggling through a narrow entrance to an underground grotto, the struggle was worth it. Warner's book presents a tough pill to swallow: Most of our problems with relationships can be improved if we will only look to see how we are poisoning the relationship. The major premise is that when we are disappointed in our actions, we often will then modify our perceptions in order to make us feel better.

Get through those first 100 pages with a lot of self-reflection and you will then find tools to improve your relationships. These are not things that you must convince OTHERS to do. These are tools to help you poison less and heal more.
