Negative Positive
Title: Waste of time
Review: I tried to read this book on the well iintended advice of a close friend. While it may have been well intended, I really didn't have the patience or the desire to endure the protracted sales pitch about what a great book this is for several chapters, followed by the redundant sad rambling stories of the authors lives. While I do agree we tend to repress the correct emotional response to loss and medicate ourselves into a state of apathy, the rest of the book and the exercises were just too dramatic and unrealistic in their benefit. To sum the process with "write a letter saying how sorry you feel".. well why not just say that up front and be done with it. To top it off with a sales pitch of the grief products was just a disappointment. basically "We'll fix your lifetime of grief for 12.99"... not really, but we'll make 12.99 and feed you some worn out psychobabble.
Is the review positive or negative?
