I have had a lifelong struggle with perfectionism, negative self-talk, and resulting anxiety, and lately all these issues have been rearing their ugly heads. So I've been looking around for some self-help books on the subject.

I am pretty skeptical of most self-help books in general. I find a lot of them to be a little cheesy and/or hokey. But the worst is when I start to get the feeling that someone is trying to SELL ME SOMETHING. The author lost me the first time he referred to one's inner wisdom/voice as the "TruSage." UGH. In case you are wondering, that's pronounced troo-sayg-registered-trademark. I read about fifteen more pages, but I never felt any better about the book, so I gave up.

I should have checked the Goodreads page for this book first; I'd have been able to tell from the description I would be turned off. Fortunately, I checked it out from the library.

I wish my inner voice would remind me that I am very finicky and snooty about self-help books.

An alright read- a little disorganized but basically short and to the point. I'd say two and a half stars and would recommend checking it out from the library.

Very good for people who are not self aware but just repeats what I know and doesn't seem probable to move me forward. Need more involvement and practices and less talk.

I love this book. It's a practical guide to discovering your inner voice and dealing with situations with the voice.
