Having read Andrew Marshall's "I Love You, But I'm Not in Love with You" I knew I could trust Andrew's insights into reviewing my esteem and it was a great read. The organization of the book is superb with starting from your childhood influences and how they shaped you into how to overcome things and think differently. My favorite chapter dealt with learning how to rebalance yourself, which again challenges you to think about how you want to live and react to all the different emotions that come your way.
In many ways for me, I believe I'm more in charge with my esteem due to learning how I can control my reactions to emotions. Through the book, I've learned some great tools and ways of thinking that will help my ability to remain positive regarding self and to break through fears and struggles I previously ran away from rather than dealing. Great for those that need a lift!!

I ironically picked it up because I hated the title and I hate “self-improvement” step 1,2,3… kind of books but it surprised me. I enjoyed it, it was an easy read, and insightful especially the first chapter about types of parents and how they influence your future choices I think I could’ve liked it even more if I didn’t drag it out so long though and I could see myself rereading some of the chapters.

Really good book about self compassion and reframing how you speak to yourself and in turn how that affects relationships. Filled with real life examples and some workbook style therapy questions to help you evolve and improve habits.

The first half of the book was not helpful/relatable for anyone who has had a good relationship with both parents. However, the insight provided in the second half will be more applicable to everyone. Not the best Marshall book - more a companion to his earlier works on this subject.
