I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better since buying and utilizing this book.  I feel healthier, stronger and more energetic.  Carolyn is a good friend and I'm proud of her for being into something so wonderful.

Buy this book...It's really a small price to pay for the work that has gone into it.

Of all the self-help books I've ever bought, I do think that this one has been the most meaningful.
I didn't really feel like I needed a confidence booster, but after all, it couldn't hurt, could it?
I mean, who wouldn't want to know the secret to Total Self-Confidence?  I know I would.  I already felt fairly self-confident, but probably not "totally" confident, and just thought that would be nice to know.
It has been awhile since I read it, but I have always felt that this book has given me more assurance about myself, or actually just reinforced what I was already feeling, and that's a great thing for any book to be able to do.
We definitely don't wake up every day feeling on top of the world, and so you do need reminding, once in awhile, that you are pretty much OK, after all.
You've simply got to be your own best friend - and feel that you have your very best friend (yourself) in your corner, rooting for you, and that's what this book does:  It makes you feel good about just being who you are.
Because if you don't believe in yourself, who will?
You want to be happy, don't you?  Well, you can't be happy if you don't feel good about yourself.
We've all just got one life to live, and this is it:  Right here, and right now.  If you're not where you want to be, or doing what you want to do, the only one that can change it is you.
You've got to love yourself, because others might not, or you may not trust others who profess to love you.
Especially if they have an agenda of their own, which could be at your expense.
One thing I have learned:  Do not depend on friends, or maybe even most especially, relatives.
We are conditioned to trust our relatives, but that can prove to be disastrous, because you can almost bet your last quarter that when the chips are down, they will scatter like rats leaving a sinking ship.  Or worse yet, turn on you when you're at your most vulnerable.
I think it's a definite downer to feel tentative, or apologetic, or unsure of yourself, because you've got to feel as though you like who you are, and I'm under the impression that many people really don't like themselves very much.
Of course, lack of character could very well justify that feeling, even about themselves.
To quote Ross Perot, "That's just sad."

This book opened up some windows for me. I feel like a better person, one who might be less quick to judge, because of having read it. There are many nuances to,painful situations.

This is really great which lot of things to learn , which I will  develop more. Controlling my self in handling problems seriously. Avoiding myself to those person that meant to be as my friend.  But, I will trust someone who will be comfortable  for being who I'am. I also experienced different  kind of things that  usually happen being as a person. No matter how hard it is, there is a way to solve and handle it right. I'm not perfect , but I do my best to be a better person.

I think this is really good for navigating uncomfortable 'friendships'. It's for kids a little older than mine, but I think it's effective. It's good as a conversation starter and a way to deal with 'friends' who don't treat you well.

Getting emails from this author has given me the extra nudge that I needed to get comfortable for social situations. the extra nudge was to read out loud: how wonderful. I like reading the book though because even though I do a lot of these things with people in conversations it is nice to have a list in my head so that I can go to that list and possibly pull off even better conversation.

It is awesome how we can learn to love more and judge less, and to know Im not the only one struggling with that was great :)

While reading this book, I found I have already done some of the leg work; it was reassuring and helpful to me in a way to start taking myself seriously

It helped me with my friendship. My friends have been fighting lately and I didn't no how to deal with it. I have a group of friends and they spilt up, and I felt like I was the middle of it. I did not chose a side but I felt like I was falling down a big balck hole. It didn't not talk a lot about that, but it did give me more confedents. It also helped me with my condefent issue. It helped with my confedents a lot. Also the thing about a friend saying stuff that makes you angry. A friend recently have been saying stuff that makes me really mad. So all In all it a really good book, full of great advice.

I think I now can be a better friend and cousin to Jack who recently suffered a brain injury.  Reading these memoirs has jolted me out of  denial.  I am very grateful for the wisdom in this book.

It is like a real life friendship .... you need to ease in to it . The longer you linger, the more you learn and then you care.
