"I want to tell you that it's magic, but the whole point of the book is that there is no magic. So instead let me simply say that I can't live without it."--Nora Ephron "A wonderful prescription for the blahs . . . an antidote to weariness, discouragement or loneliness."--Los Angeles Times "What the Berkowitzes unearthed . . . is a too-often-forgotten form of human intercourse called getting to know me."--Chicago Tribune
"A kind of psychiatric pep talk . . . directed at people who are] learning how to operate themselves."--The New York Times
"Seductively jargon-free, presented in neat question-and-answer format."--Houston Chronicle
