This book reveals the origin of self-hate, how self-hate works, how to identify it, and how to go beyond it. It provides examples of some of the forms self-hate takes, including taking blame but not credit, holding grudges, and trying to be perfect, and explores the many facets of self-hate, including its role in addiction, the battering cycle, and the illusion of control. After addressing these factors, it illustrates how a meditation practice can be developed and practiced in efforts to free oneself from self-hating beliefs.… (more)
I think the book had some good ideas, but I really disliked the font. It was very cutesy and child-like. I am not a child. I was looking for some real help. It's hard to take a book seriously when it looks like it's written in crayon. ( )

Book description
From back cover: If you are satisfied with what you have been taught about how life works, and if you are content with what society has given you, please put this book down. It would be a waste of money to buy it and a waste of time to read it. However, if you have spent a good deal of time, energy and money trying to improve yourself, trying to become the person you think you should be in order to make life work, this is the book for you. We will attempt to explain that you have been unable to fix yourself because there is nothing wrong with you, but there is quite a lot "wrong" with what you have been taught to believe about yourself and about life.
