I love books that lift the spirit and inspire personal growth. The problem with so many books in this category is they don't stick. In other words you read them and in a month or two the information is gone. Not so with Ms. Harris's book. I read the book when it first came out and found the information transforming. I listen to myself differently, my inner voice sounds more healing now and I am more comfortable in my own skin. The book has staying power and that is rare.
This is truly one of the most wonderful books I have ever read! Being a person who has struggled with self-doubts, agonized over making decisions, questioned many of my choices, and worried about not doing everything absolutely perfectly, this book has been life-changing for me. For many years, I have been very focused on self-improvement and have been in search of "the answers" and the "right" paths for me. I have looked for these answers in hundreds of self-help books and many other places. Thanks to Gail, I now truly understand and believe that the answers have been within me all this time! Although I know that the work I've done in the past (including counseling, journaling, talking with friends/family, reading other books, etc.) has all helped me a great deal, it has always seemed that there was something missing-- I still felt lost and confused in many ways. I truly believe this book was the missing piece! Gail gives structure and clarification to some things that I (at least somewhat) knew but couldn't completely verbalize, understand, or incorporate in my life. She has helped me to see that I just needed a little help and guidance in getting in touch with "the voice of my heart" and my "higher self," which I've now been able to do. The timing of my finding this book absolutely amazes me, and I swear it powerfully changed and improved my life almost immediately. I am now recommending it to everyone I know (both women and men)! Gail is so completely open, honest, supportive, encouraging, helpful, and beautifully spiritual. I like that it's not a religious book per se-- but spiritual, in a very gentle and loving way. And I love that Gail not only explains the ideas and truths, but also gives journaling guidance, prayers, affirmations, and ideas for ceremonies to help the reader truly incorporate the ideas and truly change her/his life. I am so thankful to Gail for sharing herself and her insights with the world. Thanks to her book, I feel happier, more confident, more at peace, and more in touch with who I really am than ever before. I highly recommend this book to all-- with all of my heart!
