I bought this book about 4 years ago when I was in an unhappy relationship and planning my escape. I made plans to get my own home, get a degree, more friends, a better job and feel ultimately much happier than I was. Using this book as a source of help and support I have not only helped myself but have passed this on to friends who have also got a lot from it. I'm now a graduate and in the final stages of gaining my Masters degree, have a much better job, my own home, more friends I connect with and am generally much happier with my life than I was 4 years ago. I'm sure a lot of the changes would have happened without this book, but this was a great tool to help guide me on my way and it is so positive. I still go back to it from time to time for a boost and I'm buying it again as I gave my last one away as a present to someone who needed it more than I did :-) Thanks
