Defeat the Green-Eyed Monster!
1 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
Your mom may have been right when she told you there were no monsters under your bed, but that doesn't mean they can't be lurking inside your own head. If you find that you are frequently visited by a certain "green-eyed monster," then it's worth your time to take a look at Lynda Bevan's book. You'll be exposed to the information necessary to slay your jealous beast once and for all.
It didn't take me long to realize how often I was getting attacked by the "green-eyed monster." I finally got to the point where I had to ask myself if I was going to let this unpleasant thing run my life. Thankfully, I ran across Lynda Bevan's book Life Without Jealousy. Don't be fooled by how thin it is; these pages are full of helpful information to ward off constant fits of jealousy. Bevan eases the reader into the issue of jealousy by explaining exactly what the emotion is. She delves into the differences between jealousy and envy and provides examples that will really hit home.
What I enjoyed best about this book was its simplicity. It's laid out in a clear, concise way. The language is not over-the-top with ridiculous vocabulary only six percent of the population uses, unlike many self-help books out there. Bevan gets straight to the heart of the matter and provides a definition of jealousy, its causes, and useful ways to combat it. The exercises are also simple. So simple, in fact, that you'll be amazed you never thought of them yourself. However, when done repeatedly as advised by Bevan, I was really able to notice a difference in the frequency of my battles with jealousy.
As with most things, it takes a lot of repetition to make a lasting change, so don't expect Bevan's advice to work the first day. Confronting your jealousy issues will take some time and there is no quick fix. Bevan gives you all the tools and information you need to ultimately defeat all those nagging self-doubts that evolve into jealous rage. It's my personal opinion that anyone who has jealousy and/or self-esteem issues will greatly benefit from this book.

FINALLY!
22 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Life without Jealousy" is helping me so much. I've dealt with years of insecurity when it comes to relationships. I've always known that this was a problem of mine and that it could sabotage any relationship.(which it has) I knew that I needed to work on this issue because not only was it not fair to my boyfriend, it wasn't fair to me. I always figured that my Dad leaving us when I was young and unfaithful boyfriends in the past, had a lot to do with me feeling this way. Even though this was all in the past, I needed to move on and let all that hurt and betrayal go. But how? I don't have a switch!
I was always on edge, especially when my boyfriend wasn't around. I was always paranoid! I had such bad habits such as looking through his phone,car,wallet etc. I would get so mad and hurt if I caught him sneeking a peek at an another woman. My thoughts would create these horrible stories in my head and had a hard time sleeping. You get the drift! A horrible way to live and didn't know how to stop feeling this way and taking things so personal.
I had began to seek counseling and during that time I came across "Life without Jealousy". In this book, it has you answer questions and write them out on paper. It has you think to way back then and within time you start to understand how you got to this point. It is so easy to read and gets straight to the point. I bring it with me to my counseling sessions and we talk about my answers together. I have noticed that things are improving much faster since I got this book.
I can honestly say that my insecurities are diminishing and the things that bothered me before are not an issue anymore.

Not what I thought it was...
2 July 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is very well-written and interesting. But its one of those books where you have to take what you need from it and chunk the rest. I was happy that the book includes scriptures and is Christian based (or so it seems) but I was not happy that it only deals with jealousy that a woman or man might have in regards to thinking their partner is cheating on them. I bought the Kindle for Ipad version and finished it in about an hour. But I skipped the parts that do not pertain to my situation. I am jealous of a female relative that is older than I and other women's looks/women in general. This book did absolutely nothing to cover that section, so I am still looking for a self esteem, jealousy of other women book.
