Book Description

The author provides you with a guide for taking personal responsibility, overcoming self-sabotage, building self-esteem, and reclaiming the balance necessary to lead a happier, healthier life.

5.0 out of 5 stars So who do you think you are? Smart if you get this book!, May 23, 2000

David Pendlum's book is excellent! I was so pleased with his "common sense" approach to dealing with life goals and emotions that I've insisted that both of my teen agers sit down, read the text and follow the exercises. This is great stuff, based on a man's life experiences. Here's material that each person can use immediately and without the psycho-babble.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming out of your shell, May 11, 2001

By 

Robin Woo (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews

This review is from: So, Who Do You Think You Are?: Face Your Wounds, Heal Them and Change Your Life (Paperback)

Many of us go through life trapped in a real or imaginary shell. Dr. Pendlum takes us on a tour of self-inspection and introspection, walking us through a series of exercises that can help us dissect out of the shell those things we can manage, to lighten that load we self-impose. He helps us face deeply buried fears and to understand what is truly important and what simply doesn't matter. I think of myself as a "normal" person, but from Pendlum's book I regained a balance I had lost, a new sense of mission. I have bought another copy for a loved cousin who needs to understand how good and wonderful she really is, that she is not a failure in life, but indeed a great success. David Pendlum's success story is one to which we can all relate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-read, active advice, October 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: So, Who Do You Think You Are?: Face Your Wounds, Heal Them and Change Your Life (Paperback)

Excellent, excellent! A book that activates your mind to help itself instead of spouting theory.

This book's unique feature is the exercise section at the end of each chapter. The exercises are designed to help connect the ideas in the book with life's challenges, whatever they may be. The book personally helped me to identify and work through some issues that have nagged me my entire adult life.
