I've been reading this for a little while, and decided to use this pretty much like a text book: writing up notes, memorizing important facts and pieces of information. 
This book is great if you're interested in the science behind self-help techniques, but also want a book that takes the reality of women's lives into account. It's a detailed and compassionate look into our inner demons (or, madwoman in the attic), and has so many offers about what direction you might want to think in next. 
It's not going to be a good fit for anyone looking for a to-do list. Here, you learn why you may be thinking a thing, and how you can investigate this further - and also, how this ties in with Western societal expectations. 

I really loved reading this, and will continue to use it as a basis for how I think about myself and my life. Strong recommendation!
