Poor quality, overpriced manuscript undermines the author's messageBy Love2ReadI'm giving a 2nd star because the book has some good content, though it's obscured compromised by the poor quality of the manuscript. I'm deducting 3 stars due to other issues that, for me, seriously compromised the readability quality of the book.This 160-page book should have been far shorter and would be much better for it. The writing is highly repetitive throughout; the amount of white space used on every page was pushed to the extreme; and 10 blank pages at the end are included in the stated page count. Many typos and some grammatical errors are present as well. This book begs for a competent editor familiar with principles of manuscript formatting.At $19.95, the book's too overpriced for its actual content as well as the poor presentation of bad formatting, repetitiveness, and enough errata to distract. Perhaps the author will have these problems cleaned up in a future edition; in the meantime, the price needs to be lowered considerably.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Encouraging and ChallengingBy dwgodby"Oh, WOW this changes everything" is a very interesting, challenging and rewarding book by author Melody Brooke, MA. This book helps the reader to understand the responsibility they must make in taking control over their life and making changes to enable them to have a healthy and vibrant life. Mrs. Brooke describes the way our brain works, the Cycle of Egocentrism and how one views themself as the victim, the self-protector or the rescuer. These are described ways in which we are programmed to react to a threat or an unsafe situation. However, the author enables the reader to understand they can live outside the drama and overcome these emotional circumstances found within their life.Confusion of who we are and why we respond as we do is another important feature found within this writing. Author Brooke helps the reader to understand that "...we THINK we are something different than what we ARE." We must live above the blame game and refuse to be the victim of life's situations. We can rise above it and live in empowerment high above the blame game. While we must choose to accept our own level of responsibility we mustn't allow others and/or our mind to dictate to us that we are less than we truly are. We should establish healthy boundaries within our lives not allowing people, events or our past keep us from rising above the difficulties that others and even we try to place upon us.The book closes with the thoughts of how we can develop a strong relationship with ourselves, have compassionate relations with others and live beyond the drama that normally seem to encase a person's life. This is a very well written and encouraging book. If you are looking to move past where you are and become a stronger individual this would be a great book to read.5 of 5 stars2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Interesting bookBy Elizabeth Barbarick (Stuffed Shelves)There is a lot of information that I took away from this book. The first Chapter introduces you to why we are all drama queens, how our brain dictates our emotions, the Cycle of Egocentrism, and how we can make the choice to shift into living outside of the drama in our lives. I enjoyed reading about blame and drama and the different types of people out there. There's the Victim, the Self-Protector, and the Rescuer. Each plays a different role in society.I took great pleasure in reading this book. I really did learn a lot. There were a few grammatical errors that were only slightly distracting. There are a lot of personal stories that help you see, you are not as one of a kind as you might think. This book will definitely empower you to feeling better about who you are. I would rate this book a 4/5.
