5.0

I was utterly fascinated by this book by the time I finished chapter two. The very fact that we make such quick assumptions in today society is both enlighting but disturbing. Every day I live with my own ladder of assumptions because of the situations I've been through. It's hard to bring yourself away from those. Even more so if you've gone thorugh a series of abusive events. So my natural reaction toa conflict that has just hair of what I had gone through before can make me react in a certain fashion. It's not something that you really want to face, I mean being wrong is never comfortable. But what's even more so is being wrong and having conflict. I devoured the following chapters and found myself relating to the scenario. How many times have I just assumed the way my teenage kids said something to me as being negative. Instead of stopping to listen to the fact of what they're saying. The whole book just had me captured and made me feel better in becoming more self-aware. This is a fabulous book that needs to be read by so many, not just those in a work environment. I loved it and will make an effort to go back and go over it again.
