I have read many personal growth and self-help books, but Drop: Making Great Decisions is unique. It deeply impressed me, and I do believe Dr. Helen McKibben's technique is innovative and mind-blowing. She has the expertise and knowledge to walk the reader through every step and thoroughly explain how to get the most out of this technique. Her words on self-esteem were enlightening and completely changed my opinion on this fundamental concept. While some readers might have the temptation to focus solely on the chapter (or chapters) covering the topic that most interests them, I encourage them to read the entire book because every situation, example, and interview transcript makes you think and deepens your understanding. I hope that many readers will find this book as fascinating as I did and that many will benefit from its new approach.
