Product Description:
'This unique and powerful book is a must-read for any woman on a path of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Authored by seven leading female psychologists, Finding Your Voice is full of inspiring wisdom and practical tools and will give the reader thousands of dollars worth of therapy for the price of one book!'
–Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D.
author of Are You the One for Me?
Recognize and realize your true desires
Is your life what you want it to be? For most women, the answer is not really. Too often, we listen to everyone but ourselves when it comes to determining how our lives should be proceeding–and this prevents us from living the lives we really desire.
In this remarkable new book, a team of highly credentialed psychologists shows you how to overcome unproductive, blameful thoughts and unrealistic expectations–the things you tell yourself about how marriages, friendships, children, and careers should be. Each chapter lays out widely promoted images of a modern woman–the mother raising a perfect child and loving every minute of it, the top-of-her-game career woman, the woman who loves her body just as it is–then reveals how women more often beat themselves up with these ideals than achieve them. Finding Your Voice shows you how to use self-talk to sort through expectations, isolate your own voice, and take the necessary steps to meet your unique needs. You’ll be happier and more confident, and you will live a more fulfilled life–the one you’re entitled to.

This is a jewel of a book, which identifies some of the most common sources of difficulty for women as they live their lives out in our culture(s). If offers, in readable, understandable, jargon-less language, ideas and examples of how to identify what your own voice is saying to you, about what expectations you and others have of you, in relation to a variety of life situations, and how to plan and make behavior changes that will reflect your own wishes and values.

Drs. Cantor et. al. have provided an incredibly useful approach for women to allow themselves to listen to their inner voices, rather than be influenced by the messages of myths, men and media. Women reading this book will finally be at peace with the difficult decisions that continue to plague us all (i.e., to work or not to work) and will have the tools (through movement strategies) to change those aspects of their lives that need adjustment. (With a section at the end for this specific purpose,) what a great book for a book club, or any group committed to harnessing the power of women to effect positive change in their personal and professional lives!
