Product Description
Drawing upon their years of counseling experience, the bestselling author team of Martha and William Pieper explain how parenting styles based on discipline and excessive expectations condition children to equate unhappiness with love. This often persists into adulthood, leading to behaviors including eating disorders, compulsive gambling, disastrous romantic choices, substance abuse, and more. This book supplies readers with powerful tools, including self-assessments, checklists, diaries, and exercises, to overcome their need for unhappiness.

 Difficult to accept, but true, 2008-07-05
Everything that this book talks about is true. It's difficult for some people (usually, people with the exact same problem that the authors are talking about) to admit that they're messed up. The notion that their subconscious is making them do things that are not necessarily good for them, is a truth that's hard to swallow. That's why concepts like Transactional Analysis introduced way back in the 60s are still not as mainstream as they ought to be. These are concepts that need to be taught in school, so people don't grow up believing, "This is the way I am, and there's nothing I can do about it", only to realize much later in life that they don't HAVE to be miserable all their lives. They can change it for the better! The first step is to admit that they have a problem. It's amazing that it's so difficult for some people to even get past the first step! According to Dr. Eric Berne, the originator of Transactional Analysis, "We're all born princes and princesses, the civilizing process turns us into frogs". To learn more about Transactional Analysis, watch this wonderful DVD: Are You OK?, from Lightworksmovies, available on Amazon.com

 Terrible!, 2007-12-04
I rarely send in reviews for the books I have read, but if I can help anyone save their hard earned money from being wasted on this horrible book I am happy to do so. The only message you will pick up from this book is - everything is the fault of your parents. Useless and untrue. I wish I could give this book a minus rating becasue that is what it deserves.

I wish I could give it 0 stars., 2007-08-04
Wow, this book is writen in an intensly negative manner. It will tell you (supposedly) why you have these issues and make it clear that you have issues, and that's as far as it gets. It focuses ONLY on your childhood exsperieces and saying that you were not raised properly and then leaves you hanging. Nevermind that I truley think that a good handful of the "your childhood's to blame" hypothesises are crap, even if they are the reason, this book tells you absolutly no way to counter act those feelings. I buy books alllll the time and rarely felt like I have wasted my money as I get at least something out of it. Well, this is the first book that I feel like I've wasted my money on. Heck, I have a bodyways book I just picked up that are helping me much more deal with my emotions then this book does. Gah!!
