There are many books in the field of personality recovery, healing wounds, and establishing effective relationships with oneself or others. However, for me, this book was different from all of them. Because it drew on the life path and experiences of an individual, and unlike other books or methods, it focused on the soul and thoughts. It turned the finger that was pointing towards others towards oneself, which really made you amazed and shocked. But the interesting point is that with this method, you can reach the best state of tranquility that you never thought of. The tenth chapter of the book is the story of many of us, those who have lost their hopes or have goals but wonder why, despite repeated efforts, they cannot reach them. It had a very interesting and profound view in this regard.

This book offers a unique perspective on personal growth and self-discovery. By delving into the inner workings of the mind and emotions, it helps readers to understand themselves better and to make positive changes in their lives. The author's use of personal anecdotes and real-life examples makes the concepts easy to understand and relatable.

Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who is looking to improve their relationships, heal from past traumas, or simply find greater peace and fulfillment in life. It provides practical tools and strategies that can be applied immediately, as well as a deeper understanding of the human psyche. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced seeker of self-help, this book has something to offer.

Ford presents the idea that what we see in others actually exists within us in every way. We don't live in a different world from the one within us. Sometimes when we feel a strong reaction to someone else's behavior or quality, whether it's admiration or disgust, it's because it's a part of ourselves that we refuse to accept and have blocked out. We might say we're not stingy, not show-offs, and we hate such people because they make the world difficult. But could we be like that under certain circumstances? If we think about it carefully, we might be.

In the same way, we might say we're not cowardly, not lacking in courage or quick-witted, but we could be. Why couldn't we? If we accept all qualities, we can find peace with ourselves and others.

Some might say that the ideas in this book are just repeated over and over, but personally, we don't feel it's boring at all. Because Ford tells many real stories of people she has met, such as a mother who hates her own daughter, a person who has been sexually abused, or a person who refuses to accept their weakness and often chooses a difficult path in life to prove themselves. These examples make us understand what Ford presents better.

Nearly every chapter has exercises at the end that help us explore our hidden selves better. We really like one exercise. Ford asks us to imagine ourselves as the perfect person, someone who is good in every way, and then imagine another person who is the opposite, full of flaws and everything we're afraid of being or afraid that others will know we are. Then let these two people in our imagination hug each other. It's an exercise that gives a deep feeling and builds a lot of confidence.

"The world is a mirror reflecting back to you. If you love, care for, and admire yourself from within, the outside world will show you the same. If you want more love, love yourself more. If you want acceptance, accept yourself. I guarantee that if you love and respect yourself from the depths of your heart, the love and respect from the universe will spread to your life at the same level. If you think that after doing this, the outside world is still not as you think, look within yourself again and find the hidden things, find what you don't allow yourself to have or receive, including what you want the most."

The impact of such books varies according to the extent of your need for change and your level of dissatisfaction with the current situation.

The most important point is that you should turn to them at the best time.

These books can offer valuable insights and inspiration when you are ready to embrace change and seek solutions.

They can provide different perspectives and ideas that may help you break free from the constraints of the status quo.

However, it is crucial to choose the right books that resonate with your specific circumstances and goals.

Reading them at the appropriate moment can have a profound and positive influence on your life, guiding you towards a more fulfilling and meaningful path.

The book contains thought-provoking ideas, indicating that all human characteristics exist within each individual, and the living conditions can cause them to emerge or be suppressed due to the perception or degradation of a certain trait, leading to the avoidance of that trait. It can even be the main issue for a person to avoid a particular trait throughout their life. On the other hand, it deals with the issue of projection, where individuals attribute their own characteristics that they cannot accept and consider as bad (both positive and negative ones that are not suitable for themselves) to others. (The idea of the book is not new. It has been discussed in Islamic hadiths, followed by Rumi's Masnavi, and also in Fihe Ma Fih. Similarly, the topic of shadow and projection has been adopted from Carl Gustav Jung.) The book presents methods to address these issues and also provides several therapeutic examples. It also explains the benefits of accepting the dark side for each individual.

Books that are solely about psychology consider only one aspect of a person and attempt to solve and analyze all problems with it. And this book strongly adheres to this view, as if the only problem of humanity is this. If people are mean to you and you are hurt, the only reason is that you are mean yourself but hide it! They cover the eyes of individuals with the society, surroundings, and confined spaces. And in the world of giants, they put all the pots and pans on the individual's head. And on the other hand, they show the person as a huge world. I strongly oppose this method, which has become prevalent especially in recent decades.

However, if it is considered as one problem among human problems and other discussions, sociological issues, and other aspects of life and individual thinking are not overlooked, it can be somewhat useful to a certain extent.

I had such a feeling when reading it that I didn't know whether to be angry and irritable because I was delving into the realities of our existence or happy about uncovering them. I was exactly in between the two.

When it was over, I promised myself that its lessons would always be with me.

Just as you carry out the exercises during it and taking notes helps you to better understand, in my opinion, this work is not over; you must constantly put yourself in the position of carrying out these exercises until you can believe that you are making a change in this part of yourself and your life.

All you need to do is commit to yourself and come here to realize that being human means being everything!

It's definitely my cup of tea.

Those who have a bit of knowledge about "the shadow" - as brought up by Jung - would wholeheartedly agree with what this book has to offer. However, those who don't know about it would truly benefit from having it in their lives, especially when they have faced or will face challenges within themselves regarding the attitudes of others.

I used to have numerous "self-punishing thoughts" throughout my short life. But after reading and practicing the teachings in this book, there have been significant changes. I learned that instead of attempting to eliminate or suppress negative traits to become whole, I first needed to identify these unlovable traits and then discover the gift within each one.

Still, it is a work in progress, and I'm certain that learning about the self will continue until the last day of our lives. Here are a few lines from the book:
"It is by embracing all of who we are that we earn the freedom to choose what we do in this world."
"Jung: One doesn't become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the dark conscious."
"The difficult part is working through our fears. Our fears stop us. They tell us we are not good enough or worthy enough."
"Aren't you just pouring old wine into new bottles??"
"It is by embracing who we are that we earn the freedom to choose what we do in this world."
"Dark doesn't mean only negative. It refers to something that is out of the light of our conscious awareness."

This book has truly been a game-changer for me, and I believe it can have a profound impact on anyone who is willing to open their minds and hearts to its teachings.

**"My Experience with a Book"**

Salam.

The book in front of me, which I haven't opened until now, I can't really understand what it's all about. It's not comparable just by looking at the cover or the number of prints that has reached 19. First, I went to the PDF on the internet. Of course, I found the pictures of its pages and read it. It was so engaging that that night I was compelled to go to Sa'di Street (in Mashhad, hehe) and buy it.

I'll mention a few highlights. But before that, my opinion about these books on success and peace in life is that most of them say more inspiring words and expressions within yourself. You have to understand your situation, calculate and act. If you're stressed, if you're afraid, if you're ashamed, limit yourself, see its pros and cons, and optimize that thing according to your ability.

But it doesn't say an important thing. When I read it, I understood. And I know that I still don't know all the secrets of the soul. The experience of reading this book took me so long to finish because it was during my exams.

I just say that it brought me a tear and a smile, and I'm satisfied with it. :)

I think there are two important chapters, chapter 4 and chapter 10, which have the potential to be read several times. Chapter 6, page 104. I know that for most of us, accepting this concept is difficult because we have been taught that we should never express negative thoughts about ourselves. If I feel worthless when I wake up from sleep, I have to pretend that I don't have such a feeling. I have to pretend that I'm not worthless at work because having a feeling of worthlessness is not good. I have to hide behind a mask of worthiness all day and hope that no one will see inside me.

While since I can't embrace my worthlessness as it is, I go and put a tantrum inside me. Chapter 8, page 141. Every event in my past, every sleepless night, and all the tears I shed have taken me on the path of my soul's journey.

No one tells me like I do, and no one does my deeds like I do. I am me, and you are you. Each of us has our own unique journey ahead.

Thanks to my dear friend for always excellent suggestions. Thank you, good friend.

Books have a profound influence on our souls and can serve as an excellent introduction to understanding and comprehending the shadows within us.

In my opinion, the last chapter of a book is often the culmination, and considering what has been read in the previous chapters, it can be a great motivation.

Each book is like a journey, taking us through different emotions and experiences. It allows us to explore the depths of our own consciousness and face the aspects of ourselves that we may have been ignoring or suppressing.

The power of books lies in their ability to make us think, question, and grow. They can open our eyes to new perspectives and help us gain a better understanding of the world around us and within us.
