The book comprises 10 chapters, each containing rules on how we should appreciate our lives. With numerous quotes, each sentence carries significant power, aiding us in transforming our perspectives and deepening our character. Unlike Jordan Christy's previous book review, this book is generally applicable, not aimed solely at women but for all genders.

In this book, we are taught the importance of self-appreciation and how to address our shortcomings. It also guides us in loving ourselves and appreciating what surrounds us.

Templar states, "Knowing yourself makes it easier to prepare for whatever the future holds, because when we truly know ourselves, we understand how to handle any situation that comes our way."

Templar also discusses self-acceptance and building self-esteem.

"Self-esteem is about how much worth you believe you have as a person." It is crucial to build our self-esteem, as low self-esteem can lead us to self-condemnation. If we believe we are unworthy, we may become just that. Templar leads us to trust in our inherent values, influencing our mindset and self-treatment.

The book also challenges readers to reconsider the dangers of setting life standards equal to those imposed by others. Despite our shortcomings, we remain valuable human beings. By focusing on our positive attributes, Templar argues, we come to recognize the goodness within ourselves.

Each chapter written by Richard Templar deeply aids us in understanding ourselves better.
