Although I would like to consider myself seeing the glass "half full" I have to admit I have some self doubt sometimes. Being with a girl for two years who lacked a great deal of self confidence also drove mine into the ground even farther. This book however, relates a message and a way to battle this behavior through simple exercises and everyday ways to live your life peacefully and without worry. I would constantly worry about things most people don't even think about on a daily basis. It drove me insane and I knew deep down I really didn't care about the things I was worrying about. It was really weird because my mind and heart seemed to battle constantly! This book didn't offer a quick fix, but it offered me the tools to get the fix. I'm still working on the ideas the book portrays, and I grow a little everyday. Definitely worth the time to read.
