Food for Thought
A wonderful read and resource! I couldn't put the book (well iPad mini lol) down. Kirshenbaum really injects herself well into a variety of scenarios and situations which cover a variety of possibilities either you are, have directly, or indirectly experienced. Her patient and personal accounts are fantastic and entertaining. Reading this has inspired me to not break up, nor stay together, but more importantly to look at my life and turn the focus towards self, relationship, and life improvement. It's not selfish to want what you want so long as you're thoughtful and know what you want. And even if you don't know what you want, Kirshenbaum offers ways to help you think about how to figure that out! My emotional intelligence (although far from genius level) increased after finishing this great book. Thank you for the food for thought... I am hungry for more and can't wait til the next meal!
When Good People Have Affairs
Finally a book about affairs that explains it all in a way I can understand and relate to.
From beginning to end and all the reasons in between. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Dishonesty is not good advice
Unfortunately it seemed like a good book until about page 45 when the author tells you not to tell your spouse about an affair unless you had unprotected sex, or the spouse will find out. Sorry after being the “victim” of a recent affair, when the book starts out with keeping things from your spouse, not for me. I stopped reading it right after that. So guess this review is based on the first 45 pages.
