It is a good book and a good story to read aloud when you practice that. But the book do not give you much concrete steps to follow towards fluency - just remember that. John, Ruth and Lee did overcome their stuttering. The difference is that Lee's book is more practical and give you concrete steps to follow. But it will be a good experience to read all of them. Another fun book to read, is the book The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Dodige. It's about neuroplasticity and gives some insight into how your brain works. I must admit I am only half way through the book so it may be stuff I don't know yet. But the stories itself are very interesting and when you read that you will most likely think things like "hmmm, this makes sense in regards of my stuttering". The book from Lee focuses on exploiting neuroplasticity and it can be helpful in terms of building confidence and to really belive that you CAN overcome stuttering. Believing in yourself is a prerequisite in my opinion. You can also argument you can do this by using pure logic, for example most stutterers are fluent in some to many situations such as when reading aloud alone, when whispering, when talking in unison, when singing, when talking to animals or children for example. Another example is when they don't think or plan words and just responds immediately in some conversations. Just belive in yourself, work hard on it and make it your 24/7 project for a while. I did it and it worked, same for many others. If so many different types of persons/stutterers can do it, I do believe that you can do it too! :)
