I've great admiration for the writer John McQuilkin, having earlier read and liked two of his books on related subjects – on anxiety disorders and depression. A always, John tackles a difficult subject matter, this time – insecurity.John explains the problem, simplifies it to help us understand better, gently and patiently guides us into looking deep into ourselves for a solution, and is strongly reassuring about it being perfectly possible for us to get out of the manhole that we've created for ourselves. This is what a good counselor does, but the last one I went to cost me a lot of money – this book costs very little!I've been deeply affected by this book because it touches on something that I'm very sensitive about and try to avoid as much as I can – my deep rooted sense of insecurity. John talks of the reasons I may be insecure for, explains why these are hardly insurmountable problems, and offers some excellent advise on how to get out of this self-created emotional and psychological mess.The one advise from this book that I'll carry with myself is – try to change that what's in your control, and not what's not and what's in the past. Excellent book.
