I learned about Will Meyerhofer and his blog through lawyer reading (I am one, still coming to terms with it...) but this book is valuable and would be useful for anyone. It's about the old baggage we carry around and sabotage ourselves with unconsciously, and how to get past it and rid of it so we can go forward living with more joy and less slavery to our old crud.

A joyful life starts with living, loving and working without unconscious domination by all of the messages from childhood about worth, rejection, the insecurity of parental love, what you are and are not allowed to be or achieve. I am an excellent example of someone who entered the workforce with an unconcious cohort of angry parents, disapproving parents, messages about being too weird and likely to fail unless I made myself into someone else, and messages about the stupidity and worthlessness of what I valued in life. The techniques in Will's book are the ones I learned through work with therapists, coaches and mindfulness meditation that helped me identify the issues and start to move on. I'm not perfect, and you may not be after 1 read through Will's book, but he presents the questions and issues that we have to work through to get conscious about what we're doing and why - and then get free and be ourselves with gusto.

The Kindle version is easy to read and well organized, and a huge value for the insight it provides. Keep reading it and working through it and this book could help you too!

Some things are just meant to be. I "accidentally" came across this book (Kindle version) while doing some unrelated research. The title gave me the impression that this would be just another stereotypical self-help book. However, after reading a short sample I could tell my life was getting ready to change. This book has been VERY eye opening and I am still reading it. So many things make sense to me now and have lead me to a new level of self awareness. The stories are very helpful because I can see myself in so many of them. What a find!

I stumbled across Will Meyerhofer's book on law school, and found the sample chapter hilarious and insightful (even though I've never considered law school). That led me to this title, which seemed more applicable to my life, so I snapped it up...

I always check out the new, bestselling releases in psychology from the library, and most are disappointing.

But this is a hidden gem, and *ought* to be a bestseller. Simple, short, and sweet, yet deep.

I am currently a practicing attorney who is considering switching career paths like the author did. I've been also engaged in weekly psychotherapy sessions for almost three years. This book was fascinating to me. The clarity and non-nonsense explanations of things I've been working on in my personal therapy were mesmerizing! I read it cover to cover in just a few hours and the minute I was done I wanted to re-read it again at a slower pace to take in all of it worthy pearls of wisdom. Although I do not think any book out there (no matter how good it is) can replace the work that you can do in therapy, this book gave so much more meaning to the introspective work I've been doing for so long. It probably has helped me progress in my "evolution" to my best self worth as much as 20 therapy sessions. This is a must read for anybody who is committed to doing authentic psychotherapy. I can't wait for another book from this author that would expand on the Final Note on Raising a Child. I am a single parent of two and I live tormented about not ruining my beautiful perfect children with my imperfect parenting - or at least about ruining them the least possible or to a much lesser extent than my parents unintentionally ruined me and my siblings...TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK Mr. Meyerhofer - my children only get older every day. Stop that alien nonsense writing now and get to this other important topic ;-)

Full disclosure: in writing my own book about troubled lawyers, I interviewed Meyerhofer as an expert in the subject and re-published several quotes from his popular blog. Having encountered Meyerhofer's insight and empathy that way, I was not surprised to find the same qualities saturating this powerful book.

In his fondness for the punchy aphorism or illuminating epigram, Meyerhofer reminds me of Neitzche -- stylistically. In terms of personality, Meyerhofer is much more hopeful and warm than the dour Prussian.

I read Meyerhofer's work in a single sitting. He shares generously with his own experiences and struggles. Often, I tried to connect the concepts and images to my own life. Occasionally, I felt a touch of melancholy, wondering if I'd made the right choices in my life to date, but the strongest feeling that the book evoked was one of hope. Joy is always possible. I might have made more than a few wrong choices in the past, but that does not have to be my future -- there are many pathways to joy, Meyerhofer writes, and the trick is finding one and sticking to it.

I strongly recommend this book.

We all know how many self-help books flood the market. This one stands out from the multitudes. Meyerhofer shares stories from his clients' and his own experiences on looking in the mirror (or talking to your therapist) to understand oneself, specifically to see the self-destructive habits that we humans develop as we become adults. The author leads readers to see the most common problems that we face and how to turn them around to create self-love. In addition, instead of speaking in long-winded platitudes (as too many authors do), Meyerhofer boils down his stories into very well edited segments.
