I was introduced to this book through reading The Truth by Neil Strauss. It is a clinical psychology tool book which doesn’t seem to be an entertaining read. And it’s not. I flipped through the book with a heavy heart as I discovered the deepest, darkest root cause of my commitment problem and inability to…
The Truth – by Neil Strauss | Book Notes
I discovered this “uncomfortable book about relationships” from a video intro on Youtube.
