This was a brilliant book that made me understand my OCD more and I even showed it to my parents, so that they could learn more about it. After reading a few chapters here and there, they began to grasp an understanding of what I have to go through every day.

However, I feel like the thing that let this book down was that it was very wordy. I think this book would be so much better if there were diagrams/pictures that would help to break down the text a bit. It would also be really good if there were a few activities to do here and there where you could answer questions or write things down.

All in all, I found this book to be very helpful and I have already recommended it to a friend of mine who also suffers from this horrible mental illness.
