Overall good book
Published by Nicole , 2 years ago
I have read a lot of self help books and the beginning of this one is very helpful. I wish I had read it when I was younger and especially before I had children. It breaks down how our childhood circumstances effects our self esteem. The middle is out dated and disappointing. It tells womens history and how that affects a lot of women and their self esteem today. Which was interesting. The end was great! I am glad I read this book! The Epilogue was awesome! So make sure you don't skip it.

This book is amazing and incredibly helpful and insightful. Not sure why anyone would call this man-bashing or "overly-feminist." The two are mutually exclusive according the dictionary and to the modern academic world. Hands-down this was a great book, feminism and all.

This is a succint and comprehensive guide to understanding how self-esteem is developed and how it can be enhanced. The authors examine the impact of developmental, cultural and religious attitudes and of media influences on a woman's ability to accept and appreciate herself. They also offer specific, practical advice on how to address the various difficulties that arise as a result of low self-esteem. This is a valuable book, thoughtful and well-researched.
