by Cheryl Saban

Psychologist, philanthropist, and family advocate Cheryl Saban, Ph.D., is on a mission! What Is Your Self-Worth? is a call to action for women around the world to take a look at how society perceives them, how they perceive themselves, and how women can adopt a personal mind-set (choosing happiness). You can form new habits! You can find your voice! Unlearn a perceived lack of control over your life. Uncover, rediscover, and express the worth that is innately yours, regardless of what others may say or do to make you doubt it. Your core authentic self is your truth . . . what you believe in and care about, where you come from, who you are. With a strong sense of self, you are able to view outside influences objectively . . . as merely outside influences. With interactive tasks and quizzes for self-assessment and growth that uniquely personalize the book for you, Cheryl helps you proactively express and own your sense of validity. She reveals the simple yet powerful truth about a womans self-worth through relevant research and by divulging her own personal life challenges and triumphs, including the horror of rape; the marginalization of divorce; the difficulty of single-parenthood; and ultimately a fulfilling 20-year marriage and a dynamic, successful life. Once you have rediscovered yourself, you will be eager to pass this knowledge forward to your daughters and sons. One hundred percent of the authors proceeds from this book will benefit womens funds.

[Shannon McGee · Rating 1 out of 5]

I feel I mistook what I was going receive from this book. I thought it was going to be a book that eventually gave ideas or options on how to help myself feel less worthless but it did not. The book just describes different groups of woman and were there worth is. Yes I know from the title I should have guessed it was book that labels how woman feel into groups but I thought near the end would give me some thing. I even had the work book with it and it really made me feel more depressed because I already knew how I feel worth wise. My problem is trying to change that.

It was written well for it’s subject but I found no peace of mind reading it.

I found this book to be helpful. The author is kind and gentle to the reader. I dabbed at it for about a week like poking holes to a potato before placing it in the microwave. I haven't fully committed myself to the book I skipped passed the stories and started to use it as a workbook. I'm a sucker for self-help books although some can be very misleading and a waste of time. This book offers lots of tips and puzzles which helps my mind get creative. Maybe it's helpful to me because this is not the first time baking a potato.
