Keep a pencil or highlighter handy because you will want to mark the personal "eurekas" that you come across in this book. The answer to every problem you have in life is in here somewhere and this book will pinpoint it for you. Every sentence has value and no time is wasted reading this book. Everyone should read it at least once. You will be surprised what you learn about yourself. It leaves no stone unturned.

I read this book at a particularly low time in my life, and I loved it. It encouraged me to stand on my own two feet, and it convinced me that my own two feet were more than adequate to sustain me. It opened up avenues of strength and opportunity. I went right out and bought other books by this compassionate author.
A guide for our journey into psychological and spiritual adulthood July 30, 2008

David Richo presents his work as a handbook for psychological and spritual integration. The book is very condensed and should be read in small snipets so that the information can be digested. It offers many statements for meditation. The book is a journey beginning with our neurotic ego, exploring a host of personal obstacles such as fear, anger, guilt, self-esteem, boundaries, intimacy, etc., and finally guiding us back to wholeness and love. The author's use of lists, comparison charts, and well chosen quotations provides us with incredible tools for our journey towards enlightenment. Although tedious at times, this work is a must read for anyone seeking personal gowth, happiness, and enlightenment.
 Review on How to be an Adult June 13, 2008
How to be an Adult is a great book to guide the reader towards establishing boundaries in any relationship. It is a reference book of sorts. It is small but don't let the size fool you. It takes a while to read as the concepts that are introduced are new and you find yourself attempting to figure out how to apply them. Great read for those who need to affect positive change in relationships.

I agree with others who said this book is not a fast read. It takes a few pages at a time to analyze and apply the information to your own life. I see that the author is very educated person. He gives a lot of statements from famous psychologists. On my opinion some of the authors own statements sound even better and underline better point than those of famous once. I enjoyed the book, although it was a little difficult to read. A lot of thinking should be involved when reading this book. It's definitely a very helpful book. It changed my perception of life phenomenally. I received a lot of answers to my questions: where my fears come from, what is a loss and how to live with it, the most important for me was explanation on unconditional love- I love that part. I highly recommend this book!!!
