- AVOID QUOTING a lot directly from the book; I want to hear your understanding after reading the book. Do not rewrite excerpts directly from the book. Instead, reframe the concepts/discussions from the book and then back it up with personal experience. Therefore, each paragraph may consist of a concept from the book followed by personal experience. Your paper should contain 50% of what the book states (reframing and paraphrasing of ideas), and the rest 50% should be your reflections or personal understanding and application of the content of those concepts.

You can add a 1-2 pages worksheet/schedule/ things to do/steps to change your old habits and plan new healthy patterns of approaching the issue based on your learning from this book as a supplement and a 4-page requirement.
