Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 1996

"I'm afraid of getting again."

"When I look in the mirror, I'm never quite satisfied."

"I can't stand criticism."

"I'm always feeling tense and rushed."

"I wish I could be happier."

Do any of these sound familiar?

Aren't they exactly the kinds of weaknesses that keep us from enjoying our lives to the fullest?

This wise and compassionate book can help you confront these problems, perhaps for the first time in your life.

Through a series of exercises, case studies, and personal growth techniques, you'll learn to analyze your weakness and, most importantly, strip it of the power it has over you.

Making Peace with Yourself is one of life's toughest challenges, but the rewards will be tremendous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really meaningful, helped to improve my life!, August 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Making Peace with Yourself: Turning Your Weaknesses into Strengths (Paperback)

This is a terrific book--it's changing my life so that I'm becoming less critical of myself.I think I'm becoming a happier person because of it.

I also found some of the reasons why I feel rushed, overworked, and tend to run late. Very eye-opening!!!

This is a very compassionate book of loving and accepting oneself. I plan to read this book over and over!

The authors write in a loving and caring manner. I am undergoing a lot of self-growth by reading books by these authors. I have read another book which they helped write, and I have just purchased my third book by them.

I highly recommend this book, and other books which they have written.

I have had this book for years. I pull it out and refer to it often. It has given me the 'permission' to like myself and move on with my life. I highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Making Peace with Yourself: Turning Your Weaknesses into Strengths (Paperback)

I was disappointed with the book. My daughters and I read it and all of thought it lacked something. I can't say we grew from anything written in the book. There's better books out there to help find peace within.

To give a negative review of this book would be absurd to the extent I went through it via increments and a bit of skipping around. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good concepts but not enough breadth.
I enjoyed the ideas this author had to help with certian aspects or problems. But, only one section of the book related to me. I finished it in about an hour.
