Put a stop to self-sabotage and overcome your fears so that you can gain the confidence you need to reach your goals and become your own best friend.

The Self-Love Experiment rectifies this problem. Whether you want to achieve weight loss, land your dream job, find your soul mate, or get out of debt, it all comes back to self-love and accepting yourself first.

We all come into this world full of promise and possibility. For some, when born into a healthy and highly functional family, the journey is quite easy, with guideposts and directions given freely. However, that is a very small population of people. Most of us were born into families that were in their own way struggling for independence, accomplishment, safety, or security. For the millions of people who grew up in painful families, whether by absent parents, abusive parents, or those who were ill-equipped, noted therapist Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse shows that they do not have to follow a family tradition of compulsion.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Encounters with embarrassment, guilt, self-consciousness, remorse, etc. are an unavoidable part of everyday life, and they sometimes have lessons to teach us - about our goals and values, about the person we expect ourselves to be. In contrast to the prevailing cultural view of shame as a uniformly toxic influence, Shame is a book that approaches the subject of shame as an entire family of emotions which share a “painful awareness of self.”

Relationships between an avoidant and a partner of another attachment type are the largest group of unhappy relationships, and people who love their partners and who may have started families and had children with an avoidant will work very hard to try to make their relationships work better, out of love for their partner and children as well as their own happiness.

Blake D Bauer has searched and found what it is to be a complete human being and in that much of what he shares is helpful whether you are really suffering or maybe just lightly living in fear. I will be keeping this book and listening to it again and again until I can feel true inside myself. Thank you Blake

Interesting take on things
I found this book really interesting to listen to. Quite different in terms of the material covered when compared with other "help" books. I am thinking of ordering the physical book as there are exercises at the end of most chapters which I would like to do, without having to listen and pause for each question. I think the Audible book should have these questions as a file we can download.
I think this is the type of book that I will need to listen to more than once.

Disappointingly simplistic
Very disappointed in this. Found it very simplistic and superficial with very little of practical help. Just a formulaic American self help book: begin a chapter with a quote, spend several pages stating the obvious, then close with some affirmations. 95% of anything practical in this are the large number of affirmations however I personally have never found affirmations to be of any help other than in the very short term.

Essential for every human!
You don't actually need to think that you are "suffering" to benefit from the immense wisdom in this book. It is a reminder to make sure you are living your life's purpose and draws from many sources, studies and inspirations so that it feels neither religious nor "new age" nor "self help" in genre, just true. Now I'm going to listen to it again from the beginning.
