Why I Chose You is an inspirational guidebook that encourages the reader to think about his or her life and find clarity therein by understanding his or her personal relationships. Based on her own life and experiences as a life coach, Lisa Thal uses a series of steps called "reflections" to lead the reader toward self-discovery, while illuminating what choices there are in relationships and how one can benefit from understanding those choices. Why I Chose You offers strength and understanding about oneself and others that have crossed one's life path.
