Short review on "7 Ways To Be Her Hero" by Doug Fields

Artwork in the background created by Jason Botkin.  Finished reading “7 Ways To Be Her Hero” by Doug Fields. Thank YOU for the value YOUr book provided for me in continually growing me. I happen to pick this book up while on a run in Corner Brook, Canada and stumbled upon a bookshop and was looking for purchasing a relationship self-development book.

“YOU must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from YOUr life... Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.” - John Ortberg

Value YOUr time with YOU and with YOUr relationships .

Who YOU become, know one can take away.

At the time of writing this in 2018, I intentionally got this book because I was currently involved in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, who was away from the cruise ship that I was working on. I felt interested in continually priming my mind with content related to improving and strengthening relationships. It is interesting to note that I read a relationship book now and am interested in reading it. Still, as I grow and develop as a person, my focus will shift to other topics and interests I would like to improve upon myself.

One of the biggest takeaways I still carry from my experience reading this book is the importance of what Doug Field highlighted in every chapter about perspective and how you can be viewed and interpreted in a relationship with your partner or spouse. Relationships will have their ever-changing dynamics and friction. And knowing that I was grateful to read a relationship book at a younger age teaching me that whenever I'm experiencing relationship difficulties, I can seek guidance from relationship books to bring into focus perspective and help with allowing my mind to process what I am experiencing and giving meaning to a situation in a relationship. And most importantly, finding the best way to associate a sense of empowerment with what I experience in my relationships. 

I can also add that one of the last longer relationships that I had in 2021 was handled poorly because, for that year, I stopped reading and being intentional with what I was reading to help whenever I experienced friction in my life. I know because this relationship brought about new perspectives and scenarios, with coming from different cultures and in a new country myself, I truly felt I could have handled the situation more maturely and with a more profound view if I had searched out books and content to what Doug Files writes about.
