This book is a God send to me. I was one those perfectionist personalities, I was never happy with myself. I was always berating myself, for not being pretty enough, not having a perfect body, not being a perfect wife, a perfect daughter.....you name it, so much so that because of my obsession to be perfect, I suspect I made people uncomfortable to be around me.

This book is written so gently by Louis Hay, makes you feel you are having a conversation with your very beloved friend. The whole idea of the book is to stop talking to yourself negatively and start loving yourself. What it did to me, was it forced me to examine my thoughts. I realised that the way I talked to myself, I probably wouldn't talk like that to a convicted felon !

Slowly I have started reinforcing myself with positive thoughts, it sounded surreal to me first and even very fake. But the remarkable thing is, now I'm so gentle with myself, I commend myself for everything I do right, and for everything I fail at, I tell my self I'll do better. I don't call myself names.

This has made me a very calm person, I smile more, I am so relaxed. My husband loves to talk to me now, its surprising that he would rather talk to me now than watch tv ! that itself is a miracle.
For those of you who think this is a book will teach you to manifest a shiny car...well maybe it will, I don't know. I just know that for the first time I am so comfortable in my skin, that I smile in my sleep ( hubby says so!)....that to me is beyond any material stuff I get.
