Dorothy Rowe’s Guide to Life

What more can be said? Dorothy Rowe has a great depth of wisdom and conveys it in a way that makes sense. A great read.

To be honest when i saw the title of the book, i had a little doubt. Being in my thrities i do not believe in "one-for-all solutions". However this book is deffinetely a useful and enjoyable read. Dorothy Rowe is a very talented writer and psychologist. I admire her ability to see life clearly and to offer solutions to our problems that are simple and that are working. Please read this book! It is worth every single minute of your time!

Dorothy Rowe is a font of wisdom. This excellent book offers a different paradigm for viewing ourselves and others, and I think will lead to more effective and compassionate interactions as well as better self-understanding. I wish I had read this book 40 years ago. It should be required reading for any prospective parent.

Wonderfully written, the backcover’s description of it being ‘clear and compassionate, witty and wise’ is nothing short of accurate.More importantly how she reveals how our lives are simply built on our interpretations and meanings has helped me understand the possibility to change, as well as become more compassionate when listening to others. I’ve understood there is no right or wrong, no good or bad. I’ve also discovered why I’m an introvert (and that I’m not a bit of both). Having read this book has also helped me practice acceptance, gratitude and letting go. Dorothy’s writing might not be as ‘punchy’ as you’d expect from modern or male writers, but don’t let that fool you. I love her storytelling examples and how what she wrote over 20 years ago is as applicable today. I think everyone (with or without “issues”) should read it, I have found it so enlightening that I gifted to a few of my closest friends!

I love this guide to life! In easy to follow sequence, Rowe explains so much about the brain and how we organize our selves- I found it easy to apply to myself and help with decision making.
