Author writes with great clarity and an engaging tone, welcoming us into the book with enthusiasm and expectancy. We can tell from the first questions that this will be a fresh unfolding of insights. Well done. Author grounds the reader in relatable concepts. I liked the establishing statement that we are not exploring whether or not we should do something, but what purpose it would serve. That puts us *before* the issue with an open mind. Well done. Author creates a fine analogy that when we listen to music, we’re not listening to individual notes but to the flow and movement of the music. The book works the same way, as each movement of the narrative creates a gorgeous cadence into the next. Excellent structuring; the order of topics builds upon itself, and we are delivered to strong segments with better understanding. Author presents us with topics such as projection in such a gentle way that we can self-assess safely, willing to embrace the new point of view. Author has a fine instinct for the measure of her personal experience, peppering the book with such points of relatability so as to better serve the reader. This is not an author-focused book; it is instead an author-supported book. Very well done. We partner with our guide here. The Forgiveness chapter is particularly strong, as we use our humility and the author’s analogies for growth. Author keeps a fine pace, avoiding the common issue of a lull in the middle that is so common to info-packed books that keep the lessons coming. Author has put great effort into avoiding the lull, placing the most relatable portions in the right places, supported by great effort in example research. Fabulous wrap-up on page 253, achieving a marvel of summation that illuminates the cord of meaning running through each of the chapters. Fine and resonant work that stays with the reader.
