Author’s Note ~ Preface to the Third Edition

It has now been six years since I first wrote Somebody Should Have Told Us!. I could not be more gratified by the number of people who have told me their lives have changed as a result of insights gained from reading this book. The way they see life and therefore live life has changed, and their lives are far better for it. They feel better, they act wiser and better things seem to come to them as a result. I am quite humbled by this.

While this warms my heart it is equally true that in the last six years my own understanding has continued to grow. Ironically, my own life has even changed—for the better. I see it all so much more simply, clearly and deeply now than I did when I first wrote this book. This caused a conundrum: Since I knew I had to change to a third publisher I wanted to be sure the book reflected my deeper understanding; yet because the book worked so well as written, judging by the feedback I’d received, I was reluctant to make too many changes. Still, I felt I needed to improve the clarity and accuracy of a few items. So rather than rewrite the book I decided to strike a balance by republishing this book as an only slightly-updated third edition, and in the not-too-distant future write Part II.

As you read this I wish you all the peace of mind, well-being, love, high quality relationships and effectiveness in your lives that you wish for yourselves and deserve.

It is there for the taking.
