"Practical and philosophical, Wong uses her platform well—and enthusiastically—to share the wisdom she has gained having coached a diverse array of people... Her prose is straightforward and welcoming, her tone that of a coach merged with a motivational speaker, making it clear that she’s rooting for her audience while still exuding the professionalism and gravitas of a high-powered executive.

"The five methods are mental choices that include electing to “feel it out” and deciding to know “that it’s always working out for you.” They are fleshed out with insightful personal examples, sociological theories, research, and anecdotes from coaching clients’ experiences. Wong elucidates her own core decision, too; the result is a vulnerable text that reveals how the process works at each stage, with Wong showing how she healed from her core belief that she was a burden, which was rooted in an experience when she was three years old, using the methods shared in the text."
