Reviews
*Thank goodness someone has written a book which helps people know how to improve their lives. Dr. Garrett doesn't beat the reader over the head with the problems. She offers a toolbox of practical solutions. As a counseling professional, I certainly recommend this to any client who is circling the Black Hole of misery. The book is fun and easy to read. As a cat owner, I love the Diva Pookie Boop cartoons. The Positive Direction Interventions at the end of each chapter contain good, solid advice. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family or just want to turn your life around, this is the book to start you on your journey. Barbara Higgins, M.A., LPC, NCC
*As I read the book, I could not help but wish I had been exposed to such lessons early in my life. This is a great work Dr. Garrett is doing, with the potential to change countless lives. I highly recommend it. It could be a turning point in your life, or the life of a loved one. Doyle Duke
