My sister adviced me to read this book. She almost reads everything she can find. But after I read it, we agreed on one point. This book gave us a view unforgettable for a lifetime. That is: when you have a relationship with someone, he/she absorbs the energy from you because the relation has its dynamics and balance. If you are on the heavier side, you absorb the energy.. That is something I can never forget.. Thanks James Redfield
