I've just read Dr.Laura Schlessinger's "Bad childhood, Good Life" and found it vey eye opening. I didn't expect some of the things in my life to be in there, but they were.I love all her books because she tell it like it is with out coddling you. By the way, I also learned you will NEVER get self esteem from jus reading a book or going to a lecture or waiting for it to knock on your front door. It's slowly achieved by doing, accomplishing, participating, and most important of all, change the degrading, self- defeating tapes in your own head. You and only you can change those constantly running words you keep telling your self. If you just sit there waiting for self esteemit to enter your body with no effert of yourself it will never happen. You have the power, use it. I hope this helps. |
