This book is not about self-help. It's about letting go of the things that are making you unhappy. Let's Develop offers individuals tools on how to develop again the way we did as children. That trying to get what we need is what is making us feel so needy.This book offers the only practical guide to gaining higher self-esteem that I have found. The tools in this book can give any person a greater sense of worth right away. You don't have to resolve the past or confront issues to feel better today. Today is about what you make of it. This book gives real guidelines on how to improve your life through giving.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a refreshing book!, July 7, 2003

I love this book! Newman has an eye-opening approach to matters of everyday life: my favorite chapters include the Man/Woman Thing, Do Talk to Strangers!, Giving in a Culture of Getting. It's not a problem solving approach - it's more about helping you to see your problems in a different way, in a new light, and that helps to make the problem actually go away. One of the more empowering books that I've read in a long time. I heartily recommend!! Even my husband (!) is enjoying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This self-help book puts the emphasis on self, and it helps., October 7, 1998

I've read a number of books that claim that they can help you solve your problems. This book makes no such claims. Instead, the author relates stories that are easy to relate too and gives you techniques that you put into practice every day of your life. I have one copy in the office and the other at home, and everytime one becomes a little overwhelming, out comes the book. With each reading the book continues to grow.
