Why read it?
1 author picked When I Loved Myself Enough as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Deep down, most of us have issues with our own worthiness – we’re socialized with it – and this deceptively powerful little book is a distilled journal of one woman’s insights as she realizes self-love. Her simple, beautiful words guide you down the path to loving yourself. The story behind the book is as compelling as McMillen’s quiet meditations. I have kept a copy handy for years and often read a page or two when I need a reminder to love myself. It is also a book I often give as a gift and loan to clients.
From Denise's list on the connection between unfelt emotion and illness.
