This book addresses so many questions masterfully. Read it & find out. This book has been a phenomenal read.

My copy is studded with flags to guide me to key thoughts. I am someone who loves to analyze myself and others. I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who's interested in psychology or life itself or uninterested in the latter in any way.

Price

Shipping

The book arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

So amazon's 1 or 2 day fast delivery is a great option.

Competitiveness

Therapists won’t tell you that there might be other types of therapy that suit you better than theirs.
