Blueink Review
Instructive anecdotes pepper the narrative. For instance, when Aftahi lets her son eat ice cream for dinner after talking him through the probable outcome, he finds out the hard way why skipping a meal might not be such a good idea. And when a dismissive, rebellious corporate team member fails to live up to his potential, she gently helps him acknowledge his actions instead of calling him out on it. Her comments on letting go of judgment—“judgmental people are the unhappiest of all,” she writes —are particularly insightful, reminding us that haughty attitudes stem from feelings of powerlessness. Likewise, her take on achieving balance and relinquishing control reminds us that we should all try to do the same. “We must be focused to do our best at all times,” she says, “but surrender to what the universe puts before us.”
