Only wish it was longer. But I can appreciate the bite-size wisdom. These are things that I have been consciously aware of and could not put words to. As well as unconsciously aware of, and will try to make time to introspect on.
I do think the title needs to be changed. But I can see how this book can lead you to self-discovery, in finding that "Best Friend" Within yourself. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

This is one of my all time favourite self help books. It was responsible for starting me on my quest to discover "how to operate myself." Once I found the answer, many years later, it allowed me to help hundreds of clients grow and prosper. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

HTBYOBF features quickly-digested, easily-read wisdom from two married psychoanalysts in a familiar Q&A format, but is marred by some dated positions (e.g. homosexuality as a curable mental disorder) and a staid tone. Despite it's flaws, it still offers a quick, permissive shot in the arm for those needing approval for a little self-appreciation. Those suffering any significant emotional distress, however, will probably feel more discouraged and irritated than uplifted by the good doctors' pat advice.
