Summary: Fascinating!
Review: "Dr. Tartaglia has done it! FLAWLESS is a fascinating, realistic, practical guide to happiness. In fact, in a world of illusory promises, his may be the only reliable prescription for peace of mind and contentment. I do know for sure that this prominent psychiatrist has put his finger on exactly the reasons so many bright individuals fall short of the success they are seeking. Fortunately, this book provides us with many inspiring models for success and with the tools that we can use to fix the flaws that are holding us back. Dr. Tartaglia leaves no doubt that we do indeed have the power to change our lives, to create new selves, and to take charge of guiding our own destinies." --Scott DeGarmo, Former Editor-in-Chief & Publisher SUCCESS Magazine

Summary: Listen and build your character
Review: "Dr. Tartaglia jump-starts us toward growth by understanding that character flaws are defensive mechanisms. ("Flaws don't occur because people are bad, but because people are hurting." ) He guides us to self-directed change by distinguishing between feats of iron will and the more powerful humility of willingness. Flawless is a powerful, timely guidebook to a healthier, heartier dance through life." --Jim Tunney, Ed.D., Former NFL Referee

Summary: Not Quite Flawless...But Pretty Good
Review: After reading the first two chapters of Tartaglia's book, I thought the information was given in somewhat of a shotgun approach: a little bit of everything was coming at me. It seemed that the information was good, but I didn't think the organization (or perhaps the flow) of the material was helpful. Either Tartaglia changed or I got a better handle on his style. Starting with the third chapter, my interest increased all the way until the final chapter. Tartaglia has submitted ten character flaws for discussion. There's a little something for everyone. The chapter titles are: 1 - Addicted to Being Right, 2 - Raging Indignation, 3 - Fixing Blame and Nurturing Resentments, 4 - The Dread Seekers - Worry and Fear, 5 - Intolerance, 6 - The Poor Me or Martyr Syndrome, 7 - Self-Regard Run Riot, 8 - The Excuse for Everything-Inadequacy, 9 - Hypercritical Fault Finders, 10 - Chronic Dishonesty - The Trap At the very least, I can assure you that if you read the book honestly, you will learn some things about yourself that you won't like. But Tartaglia gives some good advice on what you can do about these character flaws. He often relates the remedies to Biblical principles, which I appreciated, although I'm not sure that I agree with some of his interpretations. If you are honest with yourself, you'll learn something about yourself and your worldview after reading Flawless.

Summary: SIMPLE AND USEFUL!
Review: At first I thought the book was a little simplistic, but everyday I kept finding myself in situations where this stuff worked. This is a gem! I now realize this book is filled with the wisdom of years of clinical practice. I recommend it. Don't miss that last chapter it's a work of art.

Summary: WHAT FUN TO READ! FILLS YOU WITH HOPE!
Review: Dr. T's suggestions work. I used one of his ideas with my son and it diffused the situation in a New York second. The book was funny. I laughed out loud. It doesn't get enough publicity but is one of the best self help books I ever read. Really useful and leaves you hopeful!

Summary: It needs a wider audience
Review: This book has not been heavily promoted and that's a pity. It ought to have a wide audience. An excellent, insightful book, easy to read, easy to grasp, and much more useful than most of the pop psychology out there. Get it, read it, take it to heart. Much cheaper and more effective than therapy.
