Title: Obnoxious and disgraceful
Product review: I forced myself to read this book on the advice of a psychiatrist friend. The more I read, the more obnoxious I realized the entire concept to be. Maybe if she had kept to the idea that the way we perceive things is sometimes all we can control, there might have been value. But, to repeatedly say there is nothing we can do but accept what is goes against who we are as human beings. There are so many statements in this book that are just infuriating. One of the worst is on page 235 of the paperback edition. "People who know there is no hope are free." This is just outrageous and not what human life is about. Are we all to just throw our hands up and declare there is no hope? If that's a fact, why live at all? This book can be a cop out for some and a bit dangerous for others. It certainly has no value for either healthy or unhealthy human beings.
