It's true, whomever named this book did it a disservice, and having to tell strangers what your reading is less than comfortable. But it's the kind of book I want to read at home anyway.
I've only just begun this book, but have read back over the first chapter multiple times trying to absorb all of the abundant, insightful offerings. For me, there is so much to take in on every page, so much "a-ha" about the whole thing, that I'm going very slowly with it. I keep reflecting on what I've received, how I carry it, and what I am I able to give now, as a somewhat reluctant step-parent. I think, when I finally make it through the book I will love it, and plan to check out one of Richo's other books, Trust, next.
I am opening up to all the messages around me that tell me that mindfulness is essential to my happiness and growth. But oh my lord, it's hard.

A man on a journey of discovery, January 8, 2010 (view all comments by A man on a journey of discovery)
This is an OUTSTANDING book that is easy to read with painless, simple, logical, and insightful exercises. This book is currently in the top ten bestsellers at another bookstore in town and should be read by every couple, married or dating, regardless of religion or belief. It is informative, educational and delivers at a depth that forces you to look at yourself and your actions and strive to improve yourself. The five A's taugh, that all people need in their lives, are a foundation that will improve your life and relationships with all you meet. This book is a must for everybody. Do not let the references to Buddhism steer you away from a book that spans religion in it's lessons. This is the second book I have read by David Richo and I am SOLD! Final note, the poetry and literary quotes that he includes throughout the book to accentuate his theories are beautiful and further evidence of his depth. If you have problems in a relationship or not...you will get something extremely valuable out of this book.
