A personal message to one who suspects she or he has or is suspected by others of having OCPD:

Dear listener and newfound friend, congratulations! By your willingness and open-mindedness to explore, reflect upon, and consider the validity of the vital message of this book and its possible direct application to you, you have demonstrated personal courage of a very high order.

In all likelihood you heard about this book through a loved one or dear friend who has your best interests at heart and desires above all else that you lead a rich, rewarding, joyful, and fulfilling life. But to do so it is imperative that you acquire accurate, state-of-the-art, scientific (psychologically sound) knowledge of the condition they feel justified in believing you have.

To that end this book presents a proven program for psychological wellness directed to those individuals who suffer from this mental disability called obsessive compulsive personality disorder, or simply OCPD. It is a serious mental illness that wreaks havoc and creates ongoing misery in the lives of those people on the receiving end of the OCPD person's dysfunctional speech and behaviors. It also causes untold harm and damage to the OCPD person himself (or herself, as the case may be).

That is why this audiobook was created: to help awaken the OCPD person to the destructiveness of his or her behaviors to others and to facilitate the emergence of insight. Without it no OCPD person will ever recover. Though you may strongly feel this disorder has nothing to do with you, do yourself the favor of listening to this book.
