    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • Brilliant discussion of childhood brokenness' effects years later

    My therapist told me to get this and I did. Illuminates the effects of childhood trauma with our parents on our own dysfunction in adulthood. It is true to life due to the writer/therapist talking of her own experience with exactly that, and not being based on the 'easy and cheap' vehicle of getting college degree in psychology and setting up practice based on merely intellectual memorization. This is the real deal. The title is a bit misleading, not being 'gifted' as high IQ, but as having the gift of seeing ourselves as broken and starting the path of healing. Anyone can be gifted by seeing ourselves as we are, not in denial or delusion.

  • Getting to the root...

    I love this book! It really maps out the true reason behind so many of our life struggles. As with any discerning reader, I do not agree with every single word, however the message is strongly received and experienced. I definitely recommend this to anyone who actually wants to dig deep and find their true self through legitimate self work. I also caution readers that although this book seems to place "blame" in simple terms, it is recommended or suggested that you do not get caught up in the blame game and use this information to feel, grow and heal from. Parents absolutely have a responsibility in this, but ultimately it is always up to us to decide to move forward or to sit in bottled up emotions. Happy reading!
