5 out of 5 stars Why Good People Do Bad Things   July 24, 2008
This is great self improvement book and the latest from Debbie Ford. She has amazing insight into our self sabotaging ways. A great read and a book you will go to for reference again and again.


5 out of 5 stars Great Read for Becoming Self Aware   June 28, 2008
Debbie Ford puts everything right out there. After reading this book you will become more self aware of your our flaw and self sabotage. It will help many step outside of themself and become a better person. I highly recommend this book for self improvement. Not only will you understand yourself better but everyone who is in your life or enters your life along your path.

I personally have a had a life wrought with anger and personal mistakes and I have hurt others and myself. That is the reason I chose to purchase this book. Much of the interior is redundant, but the big work is the ending on forgiveness. For me, powerful and extremely helpful. Once you learn the lesson here, you can live better. I have not read anything before on self-forgiveness written with such frankness and effectiveness.

Debbie Ford brings together the theories of many of the current explanations on human behavior. I believe she does so brilliantly, most notably for me she brings together Hendrix's work on Imago theory as well as John Bradshaw's ideas of shame. We all are greatly impacted by our formative years as a child. We as human beings are built with a darkside that does help us to function, and function in mostly healthy ways most of the time. Unfortunately, shame from an early age, and the coping mechanisms we use to deal with early rooted shame hinder us the most as well.

I think my favorite part of her books is how she describes the masks or in other words the way we cope for example if we are the seductress, the charmer, the people pleaser, the bully, to name just a few. These specific masks come from very specfic wounds. I like that she gives no-nonsense advice in helping ourselves to heal our own wounds. She clearly spells out we must deal with our own wounding to stop our destructive and often addictive personal habits before we can really grow and develop into our most wonderful selves.

Her writing is clear, concise, and easy to read. I would recommend this book to anyone that ever wonders why we do what we do, if that is for yourself, or even someone that you have a personal relationship. She gives simple advice while it may be difficult to take, will certainly help you grow into the person that is free from the past wounds.

I absolutely loved this cd. Even though I've read quite a few self-help books before, this one really impressed me. Highly recommend to anybody on their soul-searching journey. The information is absolutely invaluable!
