A spiritual and reflective book for those needing guidance in self work.

A clear and straightforward guide to the hardest task each of us faces: growing up. Discusses making peace with your past, building fulfilling relationships with healthy boundaries, handling conflict, and creating a meaningful life. All stuff that's far easier said than done of course, but this book says it well and surely that's something.

I found much of this book helpful (e.g, the appendix). At times it felt like too many lists and quotes.

This book is life changing and I keep going back to it, and I expect to keep going back to it.

I didn't always like this book as I was reading it -- it was dry at times, and irritatingly "soothe your inner child" at others. That said, this book changed my life. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many fundamental truths spelled out in such accessible, straight-forward language. Many people seem to swing between the extremes of needing too much and needing too little from other people; Richo seems to understand how to be an independent, self-actualized person while still receiving an appropriate level of support and care from others.

It's been a few years since I read this, and I'm pleased to find that I've applied a lot of what I learned from it. The older I get, the less I mind the spirituality and Little Prince quotes, and the more I appreciate the very grounded descriptions of healthy boundaries.
