A book all women should read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
One does not have to be a high flying executive to read this book. An average working person and particularly women ( because women are more vulnerable to this state of mind either by upbringing or education or by social behaviour ), can really do their homework with this book. Many of us let other people or our invisible inner critic dictate how we should bring up our children, for example, or what to wear or how to deal with Aunt So-and-So or how to clean the house, in all, how to live our lives to somebody else's standards.It is true that this book requires some education. It's above the average morning show self help chat, but it's really worth reading for those serious about placing their own standards and getting to know themselves.
