It certainly helps my journey to gain full confidence. I feel more powerful, knowing I have more tools to challenge my negative thoughts and feelings later on when they happen again.

Yes I listened to this 5 hours audio book in a lonely afternoon. I know some people said this book was misleading and full of conceit of a fool. Yet I found it helpful. As a little girl, I wasn't taught how to be a lady. Growing up I realized my mom also suffered from the same low self-esteem problem I found myself in now. I don't blame her for not teaching me how to be lady-like. Instead she taught me what she was good at - how to fight, how to survive, how to be on your own as a woman. So now no matter how much I suffer, I could always stand up because that's what I have always been doing. Like they said "Stop complaining and go get the knowledge you think you need". Here I am reading about the basics of what to expect in relationships and from the potential partner. How long to wait. What to do. What to ask. What to expect. When to move on. For my broken self-esteem and survival skills have always been pushing me to fight for what I want and not to acknowledge what I already have. This book helps me appreciate myself as a young lady. Although I doubt that I gonna keep this as a bible, it helps reassure me that I'm enough and as a woman, I could sit back, relax and let the man do his hunting job, and for the first time in my life, make me believe that at least for this battle, I am not the one to fight.
