Book Reviews of The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self
Book Review: Dangerous book
Summary: 5 Stars
Among the all of the Alice Miller's works this one is her the most dangerous creation. In the hands, and mind, of an unprepared reader can cause, through the vivid and perfect presentation ( the pure revelation of the truth) a shock, realizing the causes and ways we have lost our souls (lost our qualitiy of governing the personal life) and the price we pay for it.
On the other hand this book is of inestimable value for (any of sincere and persistent searcher of the truth) which can bring to a human being awakening from the state of dreaming, in which is captured all the world of humans.
Do not expect the paradise of the life after reading this book was finished. The result of courage (presented by not throwing the book away, far from us) leads to the point of freedom of mind and spirit. Such achievement requests aditional effort, contribution of further learning and undertaking responsibilty for personal deeds, no matter how small or big they are. The paradise of freedom rise itself but can be only the result of continuous awareness directed to the life and respectively correct investment of personal energy. Awareness and purification of deeds from adverse effects of inherited and never explored paterns of behaviour in the everyday life are for people with aspiration for happiness mandatory.
The peace of the intoxicated will be lost. Instead of it one will gain the joy of life.
The mentioned success is reserved for rare. This book must be avoided by suspicious people. Their untrustworthy mental stability can push them into unpredictable and uncontrolable moods of behaviour . The work is reserved just for the innocent and persistent people whose flawlessness protect them from dangerous attack of the unknown. Good luck to all the braves traveling the hard path of the personal development!
