This book offers a path to freedom from chains we put ourselves in. If you have an issue, person or problem you can't seem to move past- and especially if you feel powerless, this book has some empowering suggestions for you. Much of how our life goes is in our hands, it's usually not all a product of the hand we are dealt.

Some points the book goes into:

-types of pain:
 symptom pain which tells you there's a problem
success pain which occurs as you resolve the symptom pain- there's no avoiding at least one of these types.
- empowerment to change your life by taking responsibility- a near quote is "I am responsible for creating a good life" rather than "I deserve a good life"

This book isn't the last, specific answer for every problem you'll ever have, but it provides many life affirming principles for handling them in a way you won't regret.

This book is a God sent to those who are in enough pain to seek help. Dr. Robert McGee's book took me out of bondage of my own self destructive sinful behavior. Once I made a commitment to God to accept help I followed the steps of the book and began my path to recovery. I recommend this book to all of those who feel unworthy for the love of Christ. This book will set you free.

Red this book if you respect the right of the individual, of the right of all human beings to be free. Free to choose their way of living, of existing. This book will remind us all in a free society how precious this freedom is. You will feel for the main characters in this book and cry at the tragedies that befall them. A masterpiece.

I think this book is a book that everyone should read.  If you are having any type of a internal problem that you are dealing with your self or with someone else, this book will help you to overcome and to live an "emotional freedom' life that you deserve to have.  Read some of the excerpt and see for yourself of how to deal with difficult people in a positive way and still live the life you deserve in the meantime.

This is a book that everyone should carry around with them at all times.  You need to know your rights as a United States of America citizen.  Many of these rights are being taken away from us each day.  Wake up folks, it is time for us to fight back NOW.  GOD BLESS AMERICA.

What is great about this book is that although Hassan's personal account is about the Moonies, the principles of control and the path to freedom are the same no matter what high control group you find yourself or your loved ones in. You may feel stuck, like no other life is possible or preferable but you can break free. There is help and support for you out there in a large and growing community of ex-members, the ex-members your leaders have instructed you to shun supposedly for your spiritual protection. It's not true, though, that shunning is to protect you - it is to protect the organization from losing members which are the lifeline of the organization as its source of support via both money and unpaid volunteer labor. Long story short: read this book and seek out former members of high control religions for support. You are NOT alone.

Having benefitted from this authors first book on recovery from narcissistic abuse, I made the decision to order her follow-up work. I can recommend this book as a valuable addition to your recovery library. If you happen to have been born to a parent with NPD, it is likely that your self-esteem, indeed your very self-concept, never had a chance to develop. Your creative impulses, your ability to individuate and define yourself on your own terms, was probably derided and indeed obliterated by your parent and his/her enablers. To survive, you may have shut down emotionally and find yourself now living a life where you are not sure who you are, what your gifts are,  if you have anything worthwhile to offer and if you even deserve to be here.  As someone who experienced this devastating type of upbringing as well as the consequences that can plague your adulthood, I can truly say it is impossible to understand the dynamics unless you have experienced it. And this author gets it.  She seems to understand not only the pernicious dynamics involved in the narcissistic family or marriage, but also the experience of surviving it with C-PTSD  and a brain that seemingly betrays you at every turn, leading you to make life decisions that reflect self-sabotage and an incorrect perception of yourself and your innate worth. I spent decades participating in various ineffective therapies and alternative treatments that really did not lead to any kind of meaningful recovery. During most of my adult life, there was no literature on children of personality-disordered parents, or people who have experienced various forms of abuse at the hands of a sociopathic narcissist. And when literature finally appeared, most of it actually reinforced patterns of victimization by keeping the focus on the narcissist and how badly they have hurt you. While validating, all the intellectual information really served to re-traumatize me many times over. Instead, this book is one that rightly puts the focus back where it belongs  on you and your feelings and your gifts, and your birthright to lead a life of freedom and contentment and creativity. It gives you permission to embrace yourself as your own source of unconditional approval, acceptance and security. This work is a roadmap to freedom, and is not only full of credible psychological information, but just as importantly warmth, empathy and compassion.

Charlo, as most know her from the  F*** it, I quit video that went viral and now faces jail time over a plant, has written a inspiring book that guides the read into letting go of the past, letting go of who society thinks they should be and how to make your future yours and yours alone.
  Charlo leads you through her childhood past which is full of trials and tribulations not only from outside but among her own family. She shoes you how to forgive and forget then take control of your life by deciding who you want to be and to set goals, use what you have and work towards making your life one that you control and set the limits for.
An amazing book by an amazing woman!

If you are a Discordian, this book is a must read. Take your practice beyond shouting, "Fnord!" at people and start practicing political action.

The book has truth in it, and even if you do not agree with all of it's message, give it a chance.

There are two dimensions of freedom, according to such activists as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and many political philosophers and theologians. Inner freedom (freedom from attachment and fear leading to courage and inner peace) and external freedom (freedom from racial segregation and freedom to marry). Zenarchy theorizes, correctly, that inner freedom is a true prerequisite for outer freedom. Diogenes, Epictetus, St Paul, and Dogen Zenji would all agree. However, Zenarchy assumes that after this inner freedom is realized, external freedom will take the form of cooperation without coercion.

Zenarchy is also full of creative ideas that inspire both political action until this "enlightenment of society" comes, and spiritual action to send individuals on their way.

This is such a great story of the human will and what we are capable of. As spoiled humans in modern America, we think of suffering as waiting an hour to eat, having to cancel a spa appointment, or even losing a loved one to cancer. While the latter is truly a painful and harrowing experience, it is really, pittance compared to the POW's stories or those being persecuted for faith or religious beliefs, the sex slaves or others who are kept against their will and forced by fear and pain to obey their captors. This book will take you out of yourself and give you a greater heart for others.

I have seen how I strive to live up and to the right, as he says we must live in order to flourish. I see how it has grown me. Suffering and withdrawing is a tendency of mine when dealing with people who are unlovely that God has placed in my life. Especially those that want to be enslaved by the world and not be freed by the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. I would read the book and say, "Yep, that is true of my experience and read more and say,"No I don't want to do that because it's too painful." But all of it is as the author says. "to reflect the image of our Lord and Savior to the world."  Wonderful short book. Well worth the read, this summer or an season.
