This was a good, shall I say, “entry-level” exploration into self-love and positive self talk. Some of the mantras and passages were too basic or general to truly illicit a deep dive into the foundation of one’s negative self-talk. Perhaps some recommendations to other texts that could allow for a deeper look into the concepts presented in the workbook would have made this a five-star review. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Listen if you are not at all happy today: get this workbook today if possible.

You will love both the parts this workbook has. As reluctant we are to talk about taking care of ourselves, reading this book and actually working on it gave me the much needed change. It’s encouraging and full of good vibes. Go for it.

While these sorts of books and journeys are never truly finished, after 2 years I am marking this done for GR. Unsure why the gender specificity in the title, I can assure you this is an excellent workbook for any person(s) struggling with self love and care.

A very basic, introductory self-help book. It contains lots of little exercises but doesn't delve deeply into the psychological connections of why we struggle with self-love. In my opinion, this would be better targeted to teenagers who are now discovering themselves

Love this workbook - and my 5 girlfriends who worked it with me did too! Easy to use, inspirational and uplifting, and so insightful. Highly recommend!

Hanging on my desk is this quote from page 13: "opening myself up to vulnerability is where the magic happens "

A gift from my Grand...she wants to watch over me and knows I'm struggling. I went thru it and it did remind me to be patient with my recovery.

Tựa Việt " Thấu hiểu chính mình"

Mua cuốn này vì thấy tên tác giả quen quen, hóa ra là cuốn Self-love workbook mà mình có vài lần thấy khi nghiên cứu về self-love

Sách có rất nhiều bài tập để người đọc trải nghiệm và chuyển đổi thái độ với chính mình, đặc biệt là sự nghi ngờ bản thân, từ bi với mình và khả năng chấp nhận.

Sách viết theo dạng sách bài tập nên có phần khô. Phù hợp với giáo viên, người hướng dẫn hơn.

Nếu bạn chưa từng đọc, thực hành chủ đề self-love thì đọc cũng tạm vì chủ đề này cũng ít sách tiếng Việt.

Probably one of the best guided journals I've ever used! The content was well-organized, incredibly thought provoking, and written in such a way to keep me motivated to continuously work on loving and caring for myself. I hope that Megan Logan delivers more content like this in the future. Five stars!

Sentence after sentence of clichés - I had to drop it at some point.

[Ралица Нейчева · Rating 4 out of 5]

Всяка една глава, е приключение, разлистващо всеки пласт от същността ни, подхранваща я с позитивизъм и съвети, изкореняваща останалия негативизъм.🤗

[Madison Beardslee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was very helpful and I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was just repeating myself though in some parts and that it was baseline self love work. Definitely helped to bring up points that I need to work on though, just not so much of how to fix that.

[Madison · Rating 2 out of 5]

Other than a few really good quotes, this is a bust. I did not benefit from this nor did I find it very helpful. Just not for me!

[Carla Parreira]

Melhores trechos: "...Raramente, ou nunca, o amor verdadeiro se prolonga além de nós próprias se não existir uma fonte interior... Imagine uma vida em que se sente completa, enérgica e pronta para o que quer que a vida lhe traga. Imagine sentir que tem valor e um significado neste mundo. Acabou de identificar os benefícios de se amar a si própria... A energia que pode vir do amor-próprio impulsioná-la-á a tornar-se a melhor versão de si própria, já não agrilhoada à perseguição de relacionamentos sem futuro, de parceiros emocionalmente indisponíveis, a agradar aos outros, à falta de autoconfiança, ao ciúme, à inveja ou a comportamentos destrutivos. Quando a autoestima se desenvolve a partir de dentro, o amor floresce e espalha-se no mundo externo, tornando os relacionamentos mais ricos e autênticos. Com amor-próprio fica livre para cometer erros e continuar a movimentar-se pelo mundo, sempre a aprender e a crescer..."

I really liked this book. I got this book from my mom for Christmas🎄 and I liked it because it took a dive into psychology-based theories and understandings that better helped me understand the motive behind the exercises and reading material. As a psychology major, this was a really cool take on a self-help book and hope to find more workbooks as good as this in the future :)

[Madeleine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This workbook is great for individuals who are just beginning their self-love journey or ready to put in the work in order to begin loving themselves. It was a nice to do it alongside my therapist, and I enjoyed the way the author "spoke" to the reader. I do not think it is something for people who are further into their healing journey and do not need the basic tools for self-love, as it would be things you already know and learned.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Generally good prompts for journaling and thinking about the concept of self-love and self care.

Do I actually love myself more? The jury is still out on that one.

[Ivana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nije loše. Definitivno nije format za Kindle, u papirnatom obliku bi ju bilo najbolje imati. Entry level razina, za samosvjesnije osobe bi mogla biti neizazovna.

[Fatima Zahra Hamdi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the interactive experience through writing prompts that encouraged me to dig into my feelings and determine where I am in my self-love journey.
Such an insightful, and introspective read.

[Ryan Crochran · Rating 5 out of 5]

amazing tools to use in therapy w/ clients

Simple yet thought provoking exercises that foster self love. The book is interactive and may used to assist out of funks , low moods or merely increase SELF LOVE.

[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m not sure how I feel about this book in its entirety. I wish there were more information. I know it’s a workbook, but I think I would have benefited more from it if there was more to it. I feel the exercises would have been more beneficial if they were alongside more and quite frankly better information. This book has you write down a bunch of stuff but gives you no clear indication how to incorporate into your own life.
There is a lot of “self-care” at the beginning of the book, but those are just superficial things to do. Like take a bubble bath, cram your “self-care” into 10 min because you have to work around all the other people that need your attention.
True self-care should be prioritized. You need to give your self actual time to put yourself first. You can’t pour from an empty cup. It’s not all about bubble baths. You need to carve out time for what brings you joy and make no apologies for it or allowances for anything else. I feel this book promotes the “advertised” version of self-care rather than the true meaning of the word.
I’m not saying there aren’t great questions within the book. There are, but I didn’t get anything worthwhile out of them because all I did was write down things I already knew. There was no guidance. No real “self-help” like I’ve gotten from other books I’ve read before.

I started reading this on Kindle Unlimited to see if I'd be interested in buying a physical workbook to fill in, and I did!

Self Love as a topic is a lot to talk about. There was a lot backed into the pages of this workbook, but I feel like it could have gone in more depth with examples on how the pages should be filled. The examples provided were rather surface level and didn't go deep enough for me to feel like I was tackling an issue laying dormant inside me.

As a introduction towards loving myself more, I don't regret buying the workbook since there is helpful insight in there that I never considered. I just wish things went a little deeper in terms of examples to help me get a better idea of how to fill in some of the prompts.

[Cedi Christensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think women today - well honestly women through the history of time - have been told societal rules that don't benefit them. Rules that make life easier for others (especially the men) that don't help themselves. This book isn't a violent push for feminism, rather, it is a book written for women to read and learn from. I felt seen and heard, I learned more about myself and women in general, and I finished it feeling like there was still hope.

[Sonee Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Provides a combination of practical exercises, assessments, activities, and mantras. Some of them were too theoretical or basic to elicit a real change in attitude. If this workbook were accompanied with a text that went more in depth, I would rate it higher.

[Agnes Oberauer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Self-Love for Women is easy to read and keeps things simple, making it a great guide for those who want to start their self-love journey. I love the way the author has structured the book into several subtopics such as self-care, relationships, and purpose, allowing the reader to reflect on each of them separately while also helping us see the links between these sub-topics. Personally, I always thought that I had a high level of self-love, but once I started looking at these topics honestly, I started to see the many ways in which I was failing to take care of and make space for my needs. This is an incredibly empowering book, and I believe it is a perfect starting-point for any woman who is struggling in one or several areas of her life. If you learn to love yourself and take proper care of yourself, everything else starts falling into place as well, and if teenagers would learn this kind of stuff at school, many of their subsequent struggles in their personal and professional lives would be eliminated.

[Chelsea R · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am often skeptical of this sort of thing, but overall it was a really helpful workbook that I was gifted at the perfect time. A BIG issue I had with it is over and over mentioning gaining weight, not being able to loose weight, etc etc. The way it's brought up over and over, even with the overtone of accepting ones body, re-enforces that being big is a problem. It also negates those of us with the opposite problem, who struggle to GAIN weight to maintain health. If someone had an eating disorder of any kind, the approach to weight in this book would be detrimental, I think. People have thyroid problems and can't gain/loose weight. Mentioning weight is fine, it's helpful, part of body image, but the way she does it is so completely focused on this cut and dry bigger is a problem, you must feel bad about it, which is just oversimplifiying, reinforcing, and leaving a lot of people completely out of the picture. I'd get it in the 90s, but it's not on-point with current approaches to health and body image.

[Stasia Bruhn · Rating 2 out of 5]

Eh it’s not what I thought. Kinda disappointed actually. There is no deeper thoughts/or much wisdom in here. It’s just like any barely scratching the surface journals/workbooks. The prompts are very generic . It was even a bit childish whats your favorite treat, sport, person, etc. oh the horror of going up a dress size. These are not the worries of a grown adult. An adult ad lib page come on!! These prompts are so hokey ! It was truly a waste of my money . Heck even a journal I bought at Wally world called A Journal Within had insightful prompts. Was this made for a kid? I’m giving it away in my local book Give away. If you like generic barely thinking prompts that give you zero insights into yourself sure go for it. Me I need deeper prompts that help me understand myself deeper. Ugh no wonder this was 5 dollars on amazon. Lol

[Kelsey Arnett · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. I read this per my therapists encouragement. I never really felt I struggled with self love - I believe me and everyone is worthy, worthy of love and worthy of forgiveness and second chances. However, the exercises in here really shed light on ways I was lacking self compassion, am too self critical (especially with regards to my inner mean girl) and it really helped me realize how much more gentle I need to be with myself and how much more kindly and positively I need to talk to/think about myself. I loved the reading material at the beginning. The exercises took a lot out of me and I enjoyed some more than others lol probably was that much more indicative of how much I needed them.

[Mia · Rating 1 out of 5]

The goal of the author was obviously to earn money by filling up 170 pages with variations of 1 very basic premise, a lot of fillers, and a lot of fillers that are completely false and are actually negative thinking, like ”although life it tough / everything is hard / I make mistakes a lot...”. The text is self-degrading, while trying to be uplifting, by the lazy and careless wording and thoughts of the uneducated not well read and obviously unknowledgable author.... Dangerous to read without examining the truth and usefulness of every sentence, also repetitive, basic, oh, just lazy low quality writing....

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some of the activities didn't really apply to me, but most did. As with any self-help book, find the parts that make sense for you and try them out. Either it works or it doesn't. Nothing in this book is going to do anything to drastically RUIN your life, at least.

I started this back in July and finally completed the last chapter this weekend (I did the rest within a week). I don't recommend waiting that long to do the last chapter, as it recaps everything covered previously and after a solid four months...it's all a bit hazy.
