I was very pleased with the content of this book. The stories and advice were very helpful. I personally was able to relate to a lot of it. My only criticism is that the book ended too soon for me. Hopefully Dr Estes will publish a follow up with practical advice. Other than that it was an excellent read and I would highly recommend it.

Left wanting more!
