" Someone in my undergrad or grad school programs should have insisted that I read this book before they credentialed and licensed me to perform mental health counseling. I am a better therapist for having read this book and will likely consult it for years and recommend it to anyone who might oblige me. Much of it is very basic truths, but nowhere else have I encountered it in such profound simplicity. "

" I enjoyed the book, it is amazing how Mr Peck came through with his struggles with his parents and came into his own person as a young person. I found the book fascinating, it teaches us many of the values which we don't see much anymore in our current society. I, however, found it very unsatisfying that he did not practice what he preaches, which in the end make it difficult for me to believe what he wrote in the book and all of his research work. Hence the reason for the 3-star review. "

" Very good book. I knew a woman once who blamed her depression on her Mother, and was worried what her own children would blame on her later. How sad is that? Along those lines, this book makes you desire to be an understanding parent, but to have a positive outlook for all. "
