The best book I never knew I NEEDED! EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!!
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!!
How did I happen to buy a book I never knew I needed?
Does anyone here remember, “When E.F. Hutton talks,everybody listens”? Well, James Corbett is an E.F. Hutton for me. He happened to mention his book in one of his Corbett Report videos and I instantly went to Amazon to check out the reviews.
Why did I buy the book?
After reading the reviews I was interested, but it was a few reviews in particular that sealed the deal for my purchase. Those reviewers listed the markers or criteria for an individual or individuals who are likely to be sociopaths and, in turn, wreaking havoc in your life.
As I read the list in these reviews my eyes must have been as big as saucers and I’m sure you can guess the rest. The person wreaking havoc in my life displayed all but two of these main markers as well as many of the lesser ones.
I initially purchased the book to learn how to have a relationship with and “handle” this individual (and potential future individuals like this) and keep things under control.
Let me take a moment to laugh along with you at how naive that thinking truly was....Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Hopefully, I won’t be judged too harshly because my honest intention was, and still is, to handle this situation from a place of love.
As soon as I started reading the book things escalated with this person to the point of me deciding to have no contact. I continued to read the book thinking I would find my solution and continue the relationship. As I read I was completely amazed at how all except one story had major elements of this individual’s personality.
This book has shown me that sometimes no contact or very limited contact is absolutely necessary when someone has you in their sights. I no longer feel guilty or will allow myself to be manipulated into feeling guilty for this decision. It has become crystal clear to me that I have to make this choice for my own well-being on every level as well as that of my family. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for all involved is just walk away. This book has allowed me to be at peace with that decision.
I hope this review was helpful!
