The Woman's Business Therapist : Eliminate the MindBlocks and RoadBlocks to Success

Rating:
Summary: Actually, Not Only in Business....
Review: This is a terrific book, one which I wish I had been able to read when I began my business career. Rosen focuses on various "MindBlocks" and "RoadBlocks" (to both business success and personal fulfillment) which so many women (and men) encounter. They're all there in twelve chapters which Rosen calls "Sessions."

Her strategic approach to each "Session" is brilliant: "Let's talk about"....and then she does. Problems with money, with self-expectations, with relationships, with sexuality, with "faking it", with negative attitudes, with bad habits, with self-esteem, with wishful thinking (eg denial), with stress, and with success (ie fear thereof). Has she missed any of your own concerns? Rosen also includes immensely valuable "Resources for Business Owners" which can also be of great value to non-business owners. With regard to the book's title, none of the information I have about Rosen indicates that she has received any formal training as a therapist...nor does she at any time suggest or even imply it. For those in need of therapy, she strongly encourages them to obtain it from a highly qualified and carefully selected professional.

For many years, Rosen has been actively involved in all manner of organizations, programs, and activities to support women's efforts to succeed in business. What she learned as a result of that involvement is generously and eloquently shared in this book.
