Freedom From Self-Sabotage : The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Success and Self-Fulfillment [Paperback]

Peter A. Michaelson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 30, 1999

Self-sabotage has been called the enemy within, the shadow, and the inner saboteur. It has been referred to in clinical manuals as Self-Defeating Personality Disorder. It comes in many guises, stalking us in the form of self-denial, self-doubt, self-disapproval, and self-condemnation. As its worst, it constitutes not just self-defeat but self-destruction and self-hatred. It refers to a mysterious dconfiguration that hides inside us and toils against our best interest. If we don't succeed in identifying and owning this sinister part, we can never be free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliance to be Taken in Small Doses, February 21, 2004

This review is from: Freedom From Self-Sabotage : The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Success and Self-Fulfillment (Paperback)

This only seemed like an easy read but soon I realized that the "food for thought" received on these pages needed to be taken one step at a time. The level of realization and reflection was in many ways more than I had bargained for. How much I had realized and learned only became apparent on the second read many months later. Among my many books fewer than ten have been read twice. Anyone looking for some serious suggestions to look for new answers, albeit not simple ones, will be well rewardred for the efforts. And I will be looking at it again.
