If you are suffering from feelings of lack of self-esteem or bad relationships, it might be extremely helpful.

For me, the title alone was truly the most insightful thing about the book. It was so profound that I could have very well started and stopped right there.

The power of a title often lies in its ability to encapsulate the essence of the entire work. In this case, the title seemed to speak directly to my soul, addressing the very issues that I had been grappling with.

It made me realize that sometimes, the simplest of words can have the greatest impact.

Just by reading the title, I felt a glimmer of hope that perhaps there was a solution to my problems.

It gave me the motivation to explore the book further and discover what other valuable insights it might hold.

Who knows, maybe this book could be the key to unlocking a new and better version of myself.

Eye opening book especially for the time in my life that I read it. This book truly had a profound impact on me. It was like a window to a whole new world, filled with ideas and perspectives that I had never considered before. The moment I picked it up, I was instantly drawn in by its engaging content. Each page seemed to hold a new revelation, challenging my existing beliefs and making me think in ways I never thought possible.


It was as if the author had a unique ability to present complex concepts in a simple and understandable manner. The stories and examples provided throughout the book made it easy for me to relate to and apply the lessons learned to my own life. I found myself constantly reflecting on the ideas presented, and it had a significant influence on my personal growth and development.


Overall, this eye opening book was a remarkable read that I would highly recommend to anyone. It has the power to change the way you think and see the world, and I am truly grateful to have come across it during this particular time in my life.

Okay, this book, which is 35 years old, was written by a former beauty queen. It has a hokey yet catchy title. One might assume it's just cheesy self-help fluff by a beautiful blonde flake, right? Well, guess again. This little book is actually a profound study of what keeps us bound and what, alternatively, sets us free. And Whittaker speaks with first-hand knowledge of both states.

She takes you through a cornucopia of neurotic bondage, including undeserved guilt, unexamined beliefs, and parental manipulation, and leads you out to a life of freedom. Whittaker knew what it was like to be bound, hopeless, and despairing, and she also knows what it's like to soar.

She poses thought-provoking questions such as: "Do you feel you 'owe' it to others to let them distract you?" And "Feeling guilty can be a great excuse for not getting on in life." And "What are your real reasons for being off purpose?"

To change externally, one must first change internally. When the inner transformation is complete, so is the outer.

As the title suggests, much of the book is hard-boiled common sense. But just as you get resigned to that vibe, Whittaker will surprise you with a nearly mystical insight.

"But we can learn to use our spirit effectively. To do so we must use our minds. We must raise our consciousness and become truly aware of those things that impede the implementation of our spirit. To gain self-reliance, we must give up our dependence on people, places, and things as the source of our good. We must become conscious of the absolute Universal Force embodied in our spirit and realize that our Higher Self is the source of our good.

"A miracle occurs," she continues in the next paragraph, "when you become self-reliant: you no longer judge others because you are no longer trying to get anything from them."

Again, the book is an owner's manual for transitioning from neurotic dependence to healthy independence.

It's a little new-agey in places, which I don't mind. For instance:

"What does work is to affirm for the type of person and the kind of job you want, knowing that, if that particular person or job doesn't come our way, there is someone and something better still available to you. Once you accept in your consciousness that what you want in your life is an idea whose time has come, you will then allow the universal creative mind to bring these people and situations to you. Then, the people and then jobs will absolutely match you."

Always the focus is on transformation. Always.

"Really your life is a great adventure, and you can create it the way you want it. You've been doing that already, but most likely unconsciously. Bring up the level of your consciousness and watch the miracles take place in your life."

I truly hope that this remarkable book can be translated into every conceivable language.

This way, it has the potential to assist as many people around the world as it has already helped English speakers.

It serves as my unwavering reference and a positive reminder for numerous fundamental aspects of life.

I find myself reading it over and over again, always uncovering new insights and wisdom.

When I was fresh out of nursing school, I unfortunately faced bullying at work.

However, this book made a profound difference in my life.

It provided me with the strength and guidance I needed to overcome those difficult times.

One of the first things I plan to do when my kids are older is to introduce them to the many concepts presented in this wonderful book.

I firmly believe that these teachings will equip them with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence.

I have also taught my mom to take it easy and showed her how to cut off all those losers and manipulators from her life for good.

This book is truly an awesome resource for anyone, regardless of age, from 16 to 99 years old!!!

It has the power to transform lives and bring about positive change.

I highly recommend it to everyone.

Let go of outside expectations.

Give it up because Terry Cole Whitaker transforms your thoughts with the powerful mantra - what you think of me is none of my business.

Learn to truly pay attention to who you are at your core and not be a mere composite of the expectations that others impose upon you.

Live authentically, without any pretense or false fronts.

Get rid of the programmed conditioning that has bound your life with these unwarranted expectations, like chains holding you back from your true potential.

I highly recommend this book in every single one of my seminars. It is truly that good.

It has the power to change the way you think about yourself and the world around you, and to set you free from the burden of others' opinions and expectations.

Once you embrace the message in this book, you will find a newfound sense of freedom and authenticity in your life.

I was truly disappointed.

On some of the early pages, she mentioned certain things relying solely on her belief. However, in mine, we are well aware that some specific aspects in that part are different, which was causing me great confusion.

After all, in my belief, we understand precisely how that part functions.

Nonetheless, I did appreciate the end content. It was truly uplifting and provided a glimmer of hope and inspiration.

It made me realize that despite the differences in our beliefs and the initial confusion, there can still be something positive and valuable to take away from the overall experience.

Perhaps this serves as a reminder that we should approach different perspectives with an open mind and a willingness to learn and understand, even when they conflict with our own beliefs.

The result was better than expected.

We had all been anticipating a certain outcome, but what actually occurred far surpassed our initial hopes.

It was a pleasant surprise that brought a sense of joy and satisfaction.

The efforts that had been put in seemed to have paid off handsomely.

Everyone involved was delighted with the better-than-expected result.

It gave us a boost of confidence and motivation to continue working towards our goals.

We were now more determined than ever to build on this success and achieve even greater things in the future.

The better-than-expected outcome served as a reminder that hard work and perseverance can truly pay off in the end.

The title of this piece is truly great, immediately catching one's attention.

However, when it comes to the actual content, it provides a rather superficial coverage of several important topics. Codependency, for instance, is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires in-depth exploration. Merely touching upon it without delving into its various aspects and manifestations does not do justice to the subject.

The same goes for the topics of food and spirituality. Food is not just about sustenance; it is deeply intertwined with our emotions, culture, and overall well-being. A more comprehensive examination of how food impacts our lives would have been beneficial.

Similarly, spirituality is a profound and personal journey that can have a significant influence on our mental and emotional health. A cursory mention of it fails to capture its essence and significance.

In conclusion, while the title is engaging, the article could benefit from a more in-depth and detailed exploration of these important topics to provide a more valuable and meaningful read.

This book is truly inspiring.

It not only serves as a source of motivation but also as a gentle reminder to always believe in oneself.

We should strive to be our best and maintain a positive attitude no matter what.

The author has employed simple and straightforward language to convey an impeccable message.

It emphasizes that what others think of us is of no consequence.

What truly matters is our own perception of ourselves.

The book states, "As long as that which you do is ethical, as long as you do not want to hurt, steal, or take from another person, then the lifestyle you choose had to be good."

This means that we should live our lives with integrity and do what is right.

We should make the most of our abilities and live life to the fullest.

I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to read this inspirational book.

It has the potential to transform your mindset and help you lead a more fulfilling life.
