The first adult I interviewed, for the first book I will read, was my mother—Sharon Daddi. She decided that a book that really changed her perspective on life and the way she thinks of the world and herself is a book called The Four Agreements. At the time she read this book she was in her late 30's and going through very hard times in her life. She was going through her second divorce, while trying to quit drinking, and was struggling quite a bit with how she viewed herself through the whole process.
She described the book to me as a book that will change the way you act toward the world and generally make you a happier person. To me it sounds like a self help book, but we will see. She said that it reveals certain keys to life that will help you realize that the world we are trapped in is all a dream, a hell in a way, because of the ways we have been raised and adapted to the world. She said it freed her mind of a lot of stress and worry and taught her to be a much calmer person.
She said she picked this book because she thinks it could help me out a lot with my life. She thinks I over think a lot of problems in my life because of the childhood I grew up with. Living in 12 different houses and going through three divorces turned me into a person that often overlooks the simplest things to protect any possible problems. She said she noticed that I did live defensively and this book could help me break free of that, and live in a haven that I will never want to leave.
