Book Reviews of Lifeskills for Adult Children
Book Review: Life Skills for Adult Children by Janet G. Woititz
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for Adult Children of Alcoholics. One of the shared characteristics I've learned about adult children is a yearning for what is "normal". This book helps to know how to 'pick up the many broken pieces' and learn how to move on from the childhood life-style we were brought up in and relearn what is normal. I've read another book by the same author and have enjoyed the amazing insight she brings to light. I would hightly recommend Adult Children of Alcoholics expanded edition. It tells about the several characteristics identifiable statics that so many of Adult Children have in common --- it is amazing! A couple of other reads I would recommend and have found very insightful are:
YOUR PERFECT RIGHT: Assertiveness and Equality in Your Life and Relationships (9th Edition) by Robert E. Alberti and Michael L. Emmons
(Excellent book on how to be Assertive ---not passive or aggressive.)
BOUNDARIES by Cloud/Townsend --- When to say YES, When to say NO, To take Control of Your Life
(A must read book-- it helped change my life). We all need boundaries in our life and this book helps in many ways, but a couple that stand out are "the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions, and how to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others".
Because of Janet G. Woititz and her many years of studies in the area of Ault Children and her writings on these topics to the public as well as other colleages in her field, I have been greatly helped and on the road to recovery!
