Book Reviews of Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy

Book Review: An extreme view of a good theory
Summary: 1 Stars

Debbie Ford discusses a theory that we are all made up of good and bad which makes sense. BUT she takes it so far to the extreme that it's frightening. Being mortified that her THREE year old son wanted four cookies...saying he's greedy, and then calling her THREE year old son a liar because he said he's had his washed when he hadn't is an extreme...she's talking about a THREE year old child. Debbie Ford provided examples only of extremes and this ruined my perception of her book. The only section I found insightful was the chapter on the masks people use to hide behind. I purchased this book after reading a number of Amazon reviews because I have never heard of the author. I was disappointed as the author does not supply any 'facts' to support her theories. However, she does comment a number of times about people's treatment of her. So is this simply a book based on her own lifes' woes?
I won't rush to read another Debbie Ford book!

Summary of Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy

Why Good People Do Bad Things exposes the pervasive and often hidden impulses that influence our everyday decisions. #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford guides us into the heart of the duality that unknowingly operates within each one of us: the force that compels us to live by our values, give and receive love, and be a contributing member of the community; and the force that holds us back, sabotages our efforts, and repeatedly steers us toward bad choices.

With Why Good People Do Bad Things Ford has created her most enduring, expansive, and powerful work to date. Providing the tools to unlock the patterns of self-sabotage, Ford ultimately knocks down the façade of the false self and shows us how to heal the split between light and dark and live the authentic life within our reach.
