Be Bold!: And Discover the Power of Praise [Paperback]

Susan Mitchell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2001

Using Susan's own experiences and those of the many self-determining people she has met and interviewed over the years, she eloquently explores what happens when people receive due acknowledgment - and what happens when they don't.Now, more than ever, in this post-September 11 world, we have a clear choice. Do we move forwards or backwards? Do we dare to have a bold vision of how we would like the world to be or a predictable plan for retribution? As voters we need to ask ourselves, who has the boldest vision for our future? Is it a bold vision of light and moving forward or is it a vision of darkness and destruction and moving back to where we were before September 11, 2001?

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Simple praise. No hype, no psycho-babble, no false flattery, just good old-fashioned genuine praise," Susan Mitchell claims is the key to developing healthy self-esteem. In Be Bold!, Mitchell (Icons, Saints and Divas; Tall Poppies) explains that learning to accept and give praise generously and graciously starts with our parents. However, she continues, those who have not been fortunate enough to have been raised with praise can learn to praise themselves and others, who generally respond in kind. Agent, Tim Curnow.
