5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best "self-help" book ever written!, August 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: When You Can You Will: Why You Can't Always Do What You Want to Do...and What to Do About It (Hardcover)

This is awonderful book. It speaks so many truths. It amazes me that it has not received greater attention. I have read Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dwyer and many other self-help authors that promise the sky. This book's claims are more modest but its message is, I think, more honest and enduring. The book's premise is that instead of forcing ourselves to "be something" we should learn to find out who we really are and educate ourselves to appreciate what we find. Parodoxically, this may be the real path to a joyful life that other authors claim is their destination. In short the book represents an excellent manifesto for the joys of self-appreciation and self-discovery.(Okay so that wasn't that short.)The author is very convincing in showing that there is usually a very good reason why we behave the way we do. I have never read a book that so effectively taught one how to be compassionate to oneself. Wow! I am convinced that we would live in better world if more people truly

grocked the book's message. I have never read a more reassuring, sensible and truthful book. The author, Lynne Bernfield must be an awesome therapist!

This review is from: When You Can, You Will (Paperback)

This is a really helpful book; I've read numerous self-help books, and this one is way above average. It speaks the truth, and it makes a lot of sense.
