In other words, a person already knows deep inside what is helpful to them. It is like a pat on the back and reaffirms what the person is already thinking. "Hey, I'm on the right road after all". If you disagree, then you shuck it off and say "this is BS". I know that you can't change your life unless you really want to. Remember the old adage "actions speak louder than words". This is my experience with self-help books. Hugs, Kathleen Hi Annette,
