'There is so much in this that I highlighted that I could quote the entire book! I read a lot of self-help books ... Some I walk away knowing I didn't take anything away but I didn't lose anything but time. In this one, however, I am keeping it on my Kindle and may wind up getting it in paperback just so I have it handy.' Creating Serenity
