This is an excellent book. It is not just for academics. It is for everyone. This is a book that gives insight, understanding, and strength to it's readers. Read this book. Your worth it!

This book has helped me more than any other book I have read related to recovery from childhood wounds. My addiction to books led me to read hundreds of books on recovery issues (especially when I was going through my own discovery phase of recovery from childhood physical, psychological, emotional and sexual wounds,including just about every book on shame ever written (I admire John Bradshaw's work as well). I highly recommend this book to all of the ladies that I sponsor in recovery and I have purchased a copy of it for my counselor who has a love of books as well. I have not seen anything like this book. Reading through the material related to each of the 12 "shaming messages" increased my awareness 10 fold and helped me to identify with the core beliefs that I held about myself for so long. God bless Dr. Wilson! Phenomenal book!

I am giving this book a review for only one reason...

I have not read the book yet. In fact, it's buried in a stack of books I want to read. But Amazon's user interface keeps it at the top of my to-be-reviewed list of things I have purchased because -- I have not reviewed it yet! For Pete's sake.

I'm sure this is a very good book. But just because I ordered it does not mean that it is at the top of my priorities for review.

Amazon... please... give us the option to NOT review a purchase... or at least POSTPONE a review of a purchase...

I do not believe customers should have to review EVERY product they order.

Thank you.
