Do you love yourself? Many of us do not, and do not even realize it. This is because during childhood, we unconsciously developed a feeling about ourselves that was based upon others' (usually a parent's) apparent feelings toward us. We take on this attitude and we think it is normal, never even realizing that we have been separated from "...our greatest source of love: our love for ourselves".
Having been through this experience myself, I was searching for some answers. Despite having lived a life that was (mostly) productive, fun, and interesting, I had some serious inner issues. I persistently ruminated on past mistakes, asking myself whether I was really a "good" or "bad" person. Although I always had a lot of friends and romantic partners, I struggled to have healthy relationships with intimate partners and close family.
Neha Sonney also had childhood experiences that left her lacking in self-love. But at a relatively young age, she was able to pinpoint this exact problem. And she was motivated to heal herself in order to become a better mother to her (at the time) young child. In this book, Neha shares her journey towards self-love and healing, and documents the process that worked for her, for others to follow.
Neha and her book have changed my life! First of all, if nothing else, by helping me to recognize what exactly was the problem. But I have also followed several of the steps from Neha's process and have been able to heal wounds that have existed for years. I have turned to various forms of counseling, spiritual practice, anti-depressants, meditation, etc. over the years but nothing has helped me as much as the simple realization that I did not love myself, and taking steps to create self-love.
To provide a very specific example of how this book was able to help me develop love for myself, I was able to identify my "shadow" (one or more aspects of our personality which we are unwilling to own or integrate), and to see how and why it developed. I now am thankful to my shadow for protecting me when I needed protection. At the same time, I let go of these behaviors if they no longer serve my current self. This helped me to drop baggage that I was carrying for literally years!
If any of this sounds like you, then you might also be lacking in self-love. This book will open your eyes as to what is missing in your life, and help you find it! Highly Recommended!

Comprehensive, Well Rounded Views and Concepts to Spark Your Growth!
It is clear to me that the Author has spent years in study and practice to consolidate this variety of insights, tips, and action steps for the learner 'hungry' and 'ready' to round out their life.I especially love that I can read any of the eleven strategies when the mood strikes me; not necessarily in order. Ms. Sonney has gone from certain easy to change on the spot strategies, to those that take a bit more thought. The Reader gets to choose what to read and when.The book is also well organized and easy to read. It's the kind of book I would take on vacation; to dabble into as I please. I recommend taking one chapter and study it for one week, then cover the key takeaways until you are clear as to the concept and strategy application.Reading is one thing. Study is quite another. Congratulations Neha Sonney on a 21st century real winner.
