⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This exceeded my expectations. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Good, with the caveats above.
This edition finally does the material justice. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Still worth having on the shelf.
Wheaton’s text serves as a practical manual for emotional hygiene, offering clear steps to dismantle resentment. However, it does not suit readers seeking deep theological debates or those who prefer complex academic analysis over actionable advice. The tone is warm and encouraging, but it lacks rigorous scholarly backing, relying instead on spiritual intuition. It may feel simplistic to advanced psychologists or skeptics of New Thought philosophy. Nevertheless, for the average seeker looking for a straightforward method to heal emotional wounds, it delivers exactly what is promised: a structured path to releasing hurt bit by bit.
