I found the book to be very helpful. The examples of jealous people were amazingly real to me. This is the first time I've ever read about jealousy in such a open way. She included the fact that very few people admit to being jealous, but they don't have to, it's obvious in their behavior. Some examples suggested that jealousy can cause people to lose friends, and I can relate to that. I have no tolerance for jealous behavior. I feel that reading about what makes people become jealous helps me to understand them better.
I agree that we can learn stuff from animals! Maybe hiding our emotions isn't such a bad idea if it means we won't physically attack each other. I just wish it didn't come from the people we call friends.
