moving on,
This review is from: Letting Go of Shame: Understanding How Shame Affects Your Life (Paperback)
This book has allowed me to move on from childhood to adulthood and live my life in the present rather than the way it was. Things change in life, and I was stuck. It allowed me to develop a better image of myself and realise that I was worth living, that I was good enough, not a failure. You do need to have the motivation to change, this book is only a help to get where you want to go.

Practical Guide to Resolving Shame,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Letting Go of Shame: Understanding How Shame Affects Your Life (Paperback)
Letting Go of Shame is an excellent self help guide. Each chapter ends with practical excercises. The material is presented in an orderly fasion, working through the issues one by one. The positive role that shame plays is covered, but the focal issue is toxic shame. It is easy for the reader to identify with symptomatic consequences of shame as each source of shame is presented. It is complementary to Bradshaw's classic book on the subject and in many ways is a simpler presentation for the novice. Complex and technical language is avoided. This is a practical self help guide for anyone dealing with the self inflicting pain caused by shame.

Eye-Opener,
By Brikl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Letting Go of Shame: Understanding How Shame Affects Your Life (Paperback)
I wish everyone could read this book so we could all talk about this underrated subject! When this book was recommended to me, I didn't read it because I couldn't comprehend properly what the subject of shame entailed. It's fascinating how much it affects us all and how we aren't even aware of it. A wonderful book!

Very Disappointing,
By hairballz "hairballz" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Letting Go of Shame: Understanding How Shame Affects Your Life (Kindle Edition)
I wanted to like this book - really. I ordered the sample for my Kindle, which was just most of the introduction and about a page of the first chapter, and based on that it looked promising, though I was concerned that the sample wouldn't let me access the Table of Contents at all. Hmmmm.. Should have been my first clue. My primary objection to this book is that it is just so repetitive. I have to believe this was an essay someone wrote that got "developed" into a book. Every chapter starts with the author spending a lot of time telling you what he's going to talk about in this chapter - VERY little time actually talking about it - followed by a tedious REVIEW of what he just talked about, just in case you missed it.
The "exercises" at the end of each chapter are then - unbelieveable - a FURTHER re-hashing of ideas from the chapter. But to even call them "ideas" is being generous. There is nothing particularly new or even helpful here. A lot of interesting statements that then never get fully developed. I read the whole book thinking surely at some point the authors are going to start fleshing some of this stuff out, right? But it just never happened. Hugely disappointing. If it hadn't taken me a full week to plow through this, forcing myself to the end, I would have just returned the Kindle edition, but I believe I'm past the Amazon deadline for that. Lesson learned - if a sample won't let you see the Table of Contents, there's probably a reason for that. |
