This is my favorite book! I keep it on my coffee table so I can review it from time to time. I have recommended it to many women. Louise teaches you to forgive everyone and everything that has hurt you from your past. She also teaches you to look at yourself in the mirror every single day and tell yourself how beautiful you are, and that you love yourself. She feels most women must feel worthy of themselves before they can feel worthy toward others. There are so many excellent exercises in this book that she has you stop and do that are truly amazing. They help you let go of the past. There are wonderful affirmations at the end of each paragraph relating to the chapter to help you keep in sync with the changes you will be making in your life. At the end is an entire section on physical ailments, and affirmations you can say to heal yourself.
As Louise teaches she includes stories of her life, and how these affirmations and changes worked in her life. It is a truly aremarkable story and book.
