"Smith renders self-help as a personal and intimate experience, with a slew of personal advice, anecdotes, and, most of all, encouragement-to stay positive, practice self-forgiveness, and stop worrying about situations outside of your control. He speaks to readers in gentle, casual tones, never losing sight of his rosy outlook-even when addressing weighty topics like end-of-life events and toxic emotions. ... [An] upbeat guide to creating a joyful, fulfilling life." -BookLife Reviews Improving the conversation you have with yourself can help you to improve your relationships with others, and set you on the path to achieving a more fulfilling life.
