Book excerpt: "It seems as though humans have a reverse metamorphosis. We start out as beautiful butterflies, then are turned into ugly caterpillars. We spend the rest of our lives trying to remember and become the beautiful creatures we once were."So said a friend to Dr. Louise Hart several years ago. Struck with the poignancy of this observation, Dr. Hart decided to write a book that would help us become butterflies again. Her purpose is to help us recover and access the qualities that every human being possesses at birth: truthfulness, openness, curiosity, and creativity. The author explores three main stages of personal transformation: reaching in, reaching out, and reaching high. By engaging in these stages we learn to listen to ourselves, accept ourselves, set personal boundaries, and set goals. Reviews: "A wonderful book! It contains timeless insights, deep psychological truths presented in a simple yet profound way, and practical exercises you can begin to do today to create the quality of life you desire and deserve. If everyone in America read this book and did the recommended exercises, half of all the pain and suffering we currently experience would disappear."-Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul"Reflects practical wisdom based on a blending of compassion and experience. Here is a valuable book, indeed.

Dr. Hart's creative approach is filled with wisdom and beauty."-Joyce Rupp, International Retreat Director, author of Praying Our Goodbyes"In my 22 years in law enforcement I have seen that lack of appropriate self-esteem is an important factor that weaves through the personality of virtually every person involved in criminal behavior. This book provides a roadmap that can be used at any point in one's life to enable a positive personal transformation." -George Epp, Sheriff, Boulder CountyThis book blends the role of beliefs in early development with the hope of a deeper knowledge that underneath we are whole and healthy. It will help individuals understand that the self-esteem they have been looking for has been within them all along. It will be a real key to a healthy rebirth and a letting go of blame and guilt."-Barbara L.

Download or read book Bad Bitch Philosophy A Self Worth Guide written by Anushka Agrawal and published by Invincible Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About The Book Self-love is not as important as self-worth is. Sometimes self-love can look like an illusion under which we hide our insecurities about not feeling loved. However, self-worth is a reflection of how we look at ourselves in the mirror and is a precondition to self-love. Oftentimes, we lose a sense of trust in ourselves and also our direction in life and that’s exactly when we need to find ourselves. Bad B*tch Philosophy is an ironical title behind which lies hidden the treasure of a woman’s worth. It is an attempt to introduce the grey area of life where all the happiness and peace reside. This book has especially been written to create a sense of self-love and well-being in women and to help them discover the beauty within themselves. It addresses all the adversities that women are still a victim to and are made to tolerate overlooking the fact that they are unendurable. It portrays how we can together join hands and bring a revolutionary change in the way we look at ourselves as well as at other women. About The Author Anushka has been an avid writer ever since she found her voice and learned to express it regarding the atrocities inflicted on women. Penning down her sorrows and experiences was a mere hobby until she realised that it was all she ever wanted. She wanted to be heard and to be there for every person like her, to make them fall in love with the imperfections of their existence. She has been intrigued by the genres of romance and inspiration. Being fascinated by the human mind, she is currently pursuing psychology. Also, philosophy and art have always appealed to her. Identifying herself as a feminist in the recent years, stirred her to write about the incredible souls women are and to remind them to always embrace their real self and be aware of their worth.
