🦔Great title & topic for a book, but the tips were very abstract and difficult to imagine putting into practice. The best way to sum it up is that we are ALL porcupines at one time or another and it is your work in life to build awareness around your reactions and relationships to be connected in meaningful and supportive ways. 🦔

Life is brief. Time is precious. Wasting it in defense and attack, or in anger and fear, is regretful. Choose instead to practice patience, empathy, compassion, kindness, understanding and unconditional acceptance. Work towards creating greater harmony within yourself and in your relationships, and you will contribute to creating a healthier, saner world.

BookishFeminist LOL I have a friend who bought this to give to any future partners he has so they know what they're getting into 8y

BibliophileArtichoke I've already thought of a handful of people that I want to gift this to, which means, I should probably read it myself! Ha! 8y

Leelee08 @BibliophileArtichoke hahaha!! It's got a lot of good advice so far... 8y
BibliophileArtichoke Ivan already tell it's a great book. I'm not for self-help, but this seems to be honest and sweet. Can't wait! Great thrift store find. I can only usually find run of the mill stuff. Although, speaking of difficult people, I recently found a vintage copy of The Bell Jar, which I'm in love with. 8y
Leelee08 @BibliophileArtichoke I love The Bell Jar! And with thrift store books, it's definitely a treasure hunt. That's half the fun!😀 8y
