I hope you can get through the book and that it helps you. Maybe I can get to the point where I can forgive now. Learning to stop that and keep my focus in the present has helped me to feel less negative and angry about those things. I also noticed I do dwell a lot on past events and rehash them in my mind. On the return flight I really focused on what I was hearing and smelling etc (just like they said in the book) and it did help me to calm down. I don't fly well and tend to flip out during take off's, landings and any turbulence. I did find it useful that I was read this book while on a trip recently. A lot of it seems redundant but I think it is meant to be that way to help everyone in their different situations. I'm currently on page 66 of the kindle ebook and I have highlighted several passages. I think this is something this book can help me with but I must say, I'm not even half way and reading this is slow. "Where this is anger, there is always pain underneath." That quote really hit home with me because I have a lot of childhood issues and I've been trying to forgive but something always reminds me and brings back all the bad memories and feelings. I don't know if it is in this book or not though.
