Review: Being a Psychology graduate, I love reading about the brain and how we interpret the world. This book helped to describe how sometimes we react to a situation on a primitive level, or as a reaction or taught-behaviour based on previous experiences, without actually letting the logical part of our brain take over and think the situation through. This is something I definitely agree with, and can see how my past has influenced how I treat and react to others, repeating dysfunctional cycles.
I would recommend actually partaking in the tasks at the end of the book, as this is where I feel I learnt the most about how little elements of my life actually related to each other in ways I didn't realise. Now that I can recognise why I crave certain things in relationships, or immediately react positively or negatively to the behaviours of others, I can work towards changing these and thinking logically about these situations next time.
This isn't a Christian-heavy book, rather just a few scriptures thrown in here and there. I'd probably recommend as a basic, beginners book for people new to psychology and self-analysing but I feel that if you are someone who naturally analyses your actions and behaviours this book won't be as helpful as others may be.
