Summary: THE BEST SELF-HELP BOOK I'VE EVER COME ACROSS
Review: I'm writing to express my deep and sincere appreciation to Dr. Sorensen for writing this book. Besides being impressed with her book in general, its the best self-help book I have ever come across. I'm not sure how to convey how very relevant the book was to me, but I will try. One of the things she advises is not to stay with a therapist that presses you to remain in therapy with them despite your wishes to the contrary. After nearly two years of therapy mine tried to persuade me to remain in therapy with her instead of leaving for graduate school in another state. Fortunately, I was confident and strong enough to go ahead with graduate school. I've always wanted and needed to take more control of my life and your book will definitely help with that.Your scenerios also helped me locate specific events in my life and choices that I have made that I now can see as results of not having good self-esteem. My lack of self-esteem has caused me so much grief, anxiety, and general damage. I am much more aware now of how my thoughts influence and determine circumstances at times. Most of all, without a better way to express it, I have been able to recently put in writing how I feel about the adults who played a part in the formation of my self-esteem when I was a child. Should I seek further therapy, I now have specific scenerios and an understanding of my issues to take with me to the therapists office. Thank You!

Summary: This one has changed my life forever.
Review: If was as if Dr. Sorensen had somehow peeked into my own childhood and presented event after event that contributed to my low self-esteem. The book is easy to understand and provides the reader with lots of suggestions for coping with low self-esteem plus behavioral models of a healthy self-esteem.

Summary: Learn to Love YourSelf
Review: In order to express an opinion about any subject matter, It nessacary to see how others have attempted to tackle the issue. I have seen many therapist and read many books on the Subject. None of these books or therapists has a clear understanding of Low Self Esteem as Dr. Sorensen's book. Dr. Sorensens helps the reader understand that the person with LSE source of depression is not a particular situation of event that occurred but how they view that event or more importantly how they view themseleves Dr Sorensen helps explain to the reader that how he/she feels. This alone gives the reader a sense of relief by knowing that they are not alone and someone knows how they feel. But the book does not stop there Dr Sorensen points out how people with a healthy Self Esteems view a similar situation in a totaly diffrent light. The Book then takes the final step by giving the reader the TOOLS they need to develop a healthy self esteem If you are over an acheiver (or even if you're not)and have worked hard on many aspects of your life but still don't feel good about yourself this book is about you and for you Any one who has Low Self Esteem owes it to themselves to read this book and get Dr. Sorensen to help them out of thier depression

Review: In this illuminating book, Dr. Sorensen does an extraordinary job of capturing the pain of low self esteem. Yet she leaves you with a sense of hope, providing clear, specific ways for creating a new life. Well-written and engrossing! Her examples are wonderful!

Summary: Wonderful book
Review: Made me understand many things about myself. Very interesting section about "testing" others. Does a good job of making you aware of some inner problems, but doesn't give much help in the way of solving them. Hopefully awareness is half the battle!

Summary: Best self help book you can get
Review: Maralyn's book has helped me more than any other book I have ever read and more than countless hours of counseling I have been through over many years. It has helped me understand my behavior as well as the behavior of others. I have been incredibly successful professionally inspite of feeling "inferior", because I am an "overachiever". I have been incredibly unsuccessful in relationships (two bad marriages) because I am "passive" and "passive aggressive" instead of "assertive". My humble suggestion is that if your "house" has problems, start at the "foundation". For me, self-esteem has been the "road not traveled".

Summary: Superb self-help book.
Review: Marilyn Sorensen has written an excellent, insightful book on low self-esteem. Of all the many self-help books, on self-healing, I've read, this is one of the best. W.R.B.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Marylin Sorenson's book has been instrumental in helping me break the cycle of low self-esteem. My job brings it's share of anxieties; I am the janitor at the head office of a large foodstuffs company and have had to clean up a lot of unkind bathroom graffiti about me. It wouldn't bug me but it's just not funny, and certainly doesn't help with my ongoing problems with the assistant head of marketing, Doug, who is seeing my wife. But this book has been a Godsend which has helped me rebuild the self-esteem I thought I had lost and full marks to the authors. Doug says I've got to caddy for him next week at the executive golf trophy or I'm fired, so I'll be reading up on more of Dr Sorensen's tips on "defined parameters of tollerance" and buffing up my old caddying shoes. Thank you Dr Sorenson.

Summary: A MUST-READ!!!
Review: Reading Marilyn Sorensen's book is both a reality check and liberating for those of us who suffer from the epidemic known as low self-esteem. Although initially I found it painful to see before me in print my behavior patterns and the abuses that caused them, by the time I finished the book (in one day--because I couldn't stop reading it!), I felt lighter and filled with hope and confidence that I WILL do what is needed to live an authentic life---free to live the deliberate and fulfilling life I deserve to create for myself. Sorensen provides the methods that can be used to break free of LSE chains and a good dose of objective compassion to motivate individuals ready to take the first step, then the next, and the next....
