Review

...heartwarming collection of stories... offers the reader inspiration and a hands-on opportunity to explore the uniqueness of one's own life... -- Jennifer Read Hawthorne, author

An inspirational book of beautifully told stories followed by journaling activities that encourage hope, optimism, and well being. -- Dr. Stella Resnick, Ph.D. & author

About the Author

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a nationally known leader in Positive Psychology. Her first book, THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy, challenged outdated psychological behaviors and attitudes. It taught clinicians and the public how to recognize what is "right about us" rather than what is wrong. Her emphasis on positive memory retrieval profoundly changed the focus of the treatment room. Now we can joyfully reclaim our talents and lost potential, even from a dysfunctional past.

Joy and discovering our purpose in life are essential to all of Dr. Holstein's teachings. She educates the public in ways to increase the joy in one's life. She eagerly shares her knowledge with the public via her constant radio and television appearances. Also, her newsletters go around the world both via the post and e-mail. Her web site is a clearing house of good news and learning opportunities. The public can go to this site to practice enchantment while reading positive stories from readers around the world.

Dr. Holstein knows that practice is essential to live a life of joy and meaning. Thus, she gives the reader the opportunity to use each story in RECIPES FOR ENCHANTMENT, The Secret Ingredient is YOU! as a springboard for soul searching necessary to become in touch with one's unique gifts and how best to use them, thus creating the personal "magic" of an enchanted life.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is available for media interviews, teleconferences, and hands-on workshops, lectures and life coaching. She can be reached at 1-877-BJOYFUL. Her e-mail address is encself@aol.com.

More About the Author

I have been a positive psychologist in private practice for the past twenty five years. In the course of working with my clients, I originated the idea of the Enchanted Self, a positive psychology therapy where I teach people how to recognize and utilize their strengths, talents, skills and even lost potential. I have developed a number of methods, including using our memories to rediscover what is right about ourselves and our lives, rather than what went wrong, helping people to overcome adversity, experience positive emotions and live the good life!

Since developing this concept, I've been able to use many tools to bring the Enchanted Self to everyone, particularly women and girls, who could benefit. I've written five books on the topic, starting with THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy, and now, my first fiction, The Truth, (I'm a girl, I'm ten and I know everything). I host internet radio shows, including Happiness For Women Only on www.internetvoicesradio.com and have written articles for hundreds of websites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Enchanting Book!, February 21, 2001
This review is from: Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is You! (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading Dr. Holstein's first book, THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy. However, RECIPES FOR ENCHANTMENT, The Secret Ingredient is YOU! is a book that is really for everyone with a step away from more of the clinical aspects of 'enchantment'.

It was a joy to read her enchanting and motivational collection stories and the follow up exercises allowed me relate her messages to my own experiences. I actually learned how to bring more joy into my life by tapping into my hidden potential through memory exploration. It's a great concept that really works.

In a nutshell it's a book that you want to pick up when you are looking for some heart-warming inspiration. She has a great flair for story telling and weaves lots of common-sense into her beautifully structured short stories. I loved it! I think women, especially, will appreciate this book.

This review is from: Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is You! (Paperback)
We all remember special moments in our lives but this book teaches us how to include those feelings as a more integral part of our daily lives. A magical book that leads the reader through self-discovery with practical examples to spark the "enchantment" process. Dr. Holstein's experiences and professional expertise are reflected in her writing and I strongly encourage those who wish a deeper enjoyment as they travel through life to pick up this wonderful book. Different and thought provoking!
