What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Insightful”
I enjoyed this book because it did not try and tell me what to do. It just gave me things to think about, and put some things in perspective. It is a good way to get out of the vicious cycle of thinking too much, because it sets a path for you to find your own answers. Just because you’re ambivalent doesn’t necessarily mean that things are bad OR good. It just means you need some clarity, and I think the author’s questions are a good starting point for that clarity.— Kim, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Really helped me resolve my relationship ambivalen”
I have been ambivalent for years about my marriage. This book helped me understand that my marriage is too good to leave, and the reasons behind that logic. Now I can focus on making the marriage better for both of us in a more wholehearted approach.— kathryn, Audible listener
