Summary: Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem
Review: I believe this is my fate to find this book. Dr. Marilyn described the symptom of the person who has low self-esteem by using one particular person, Jane. When I read through this book, I found myself in it. When I found that there are ways to recover from the sufferings due to the low self-esteem, I felt I was saved. I learnt that I am the one who can support my own life by breaking the chain of low self-esteem.

This book also teaches me the way to recover from sufferings and shows how people from low self-esteem have been recovered.
If you want to start working on yourself to make your life better and feel confident in yourself, this book can help you to step toward your new life.

Summary: This Explains Everthing !
Review: I was given the book "Breaking the Chains of Low Self-Esteem" by a very close friend, several months ago. I have never read anything that defined so clearly what is going on in my life. I thank God for Dr. Sorensen's insight into this wide reaching problem. I have recommended this book to my therapist in hopes that he will be able to help me solve this life controlling situation. I was especially fascinated by the information on "triggers". If you are depressed, can not seem to figure out what is going on in your life, have low self-esteem, or have tried everything else; this book is a must read. I found Dr Sorensen to be especially warm and helpful, she is someone who truly understands my plight.

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

Summary: Awesome Understanding of Low Self-Esteem
Review: The fact that this book ended up in my hands might have been the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. The complete understanding on the subject of low self-esteem contained in this book is unreal. Having been in therapy for almost 3 months because of the pain of living life with extremely low self-esteem ... the knowledge i've gained from this book would have taken years of therapy to learn from within myself. When i began to read it ... by page 60 i could not believe how precise Dr. Sorensen's description of how life is and what happens to those suffering with low self-esteem. I found the books coverage of self defeating behavior and sabotaging relationships to be extremely helpful. With this book i gain a complete understanding of low self-esteem which is crucial because in order to make the major changes i need to make in life i have to clearly understand what is wrong and what needs changed. Thanks to Dr. Sorensen i now know exactly what needs changed and how to end the pain .... I also know exactly where to concentrate my therapists attention.

Summary: a "self help" book worth buying
Review: There are a ton of "self help" books on the market today. Many of them are'nt worth reading, because they contain little more than common sense information. This book is different. Dr. Sorensen truly knows her subject matter. What's more, she is also passionate about her work and genuinely interested in helping others feel better about themselves. Most important, this book offers realistic prospects for success. Dr. Sorensen doesn't promise such things as "eternal bliss" (Wayne Dyer) or "unlimited power" (Tony Robbins). Instead, she explains that increasing self esteem is a gradual process that requires time and energy to produce tangible results. The books's "things to do" sections help the reader to achieve these results.

I have recommended Dr. Sorensen's book to a number of my clients whose self esteem needs strengthening. They have endorsed it enthusiastically and so do I. It is one of the best self help books on the market today.

PS. If you plan to buy and read the book, make sure to do the exercizes she recommends. There really is no shortcut.

Summary: absolutely the best self-help book I¿ve ever read
Review: This book is an absolute must-read for EVERYONE. For those with low self-esteem (LSE) it explains exactly what LSE is, how you got it, and what you can do about it. You will learn that you are not alone and that LSE is a common problem and that there are a lot of people who are suffering from the same pain, anger, and hurt that you are. I have LSE and I was completely amazed when I read this book. I thought that if men were from Mars and women were from Venus, that I must be from Pluto. I felt as if I was completely alone in the world and that nobody understood anything I was going through. I was shocked as I read through this book and realized how much the author truly understood LSE and exactly how it has been negatively effecting my life. As I read through the various examples in the book I was just floored by how accurately the examples mirrored so many things that have happened in my own life. This book will not only benefit those with LSE, but also people with healthy self-esteem because reading this book will enable you to spot the signs of LSE in others so that you can be better prepared to comfort and deal with the person who has LSE. This book talks about how LSE is far too often misdiagnosed as depression, social anxiety disorder, or some other mental problem. So many people who have LSE are misdiagnosed and consequently put on drugs which only mask the symptoms of the problem, rather than addressing the core problem directly. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those with LSE. The author has a very clear and easy to understand writing style and you will be amazed at the insight and understanding the author has in regards to LSE. If you're like me, once you read the first page you won't be able to put this book down. For those with LSE I also highly recommend getting the workbook that goes along as a companion to the book.

Summary: AMAZING INSIGHTS ABOUT LOW SELF-ESTEEM
Review: This is a truly amazing book and the best I've ever read on the subject of low self-esteem. Dr. Sorensen explains the inner experience of low self-esteem in a way I've never before heard and for the first time has helped me fully understand this pervasive problem called low self-esteem. Dr. Sorensen truly has a way with words and her compassionate explanations clearly spell out the process of low self-esteem and the way in which LSE ultimately leads people to sabotage their lives without being aware they are doing so. She has great exercises at the end of chapters and I found her sections that compare those with healthy self-esteem to those with low self-esteem to be especially interesting and helpful. THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD READ, whether for themselves or to better understand family and friends that suffer from LSE. IT'S HARD TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN UNTIL YOU'VE READ IT COVER TO COVER.
