I purchased this because the title included these names "Tony Robbins, Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Jack Canfield, ... Kiyosaki, Zig Ziglar, Oprah, Stephen Covey" Not once are these people quoted or mentioned in this poorly written excuse for a book on self-compassion.As a long time practitioner, since 1991, and teacher of self-compassion I found this book to be scattered, poorly written and undocumented (no citations or even mention of the important facts & current research). Self-compassion is an important, relatively new, science. It is powerful. It is life-changing. It is liberation! It's misleading when people without a true knowledge of a subject matter piggyback onto a growing market to make money.I highly recommend reading books on this subject!  Two of the more comprehensive (more bang for your buck) titles are: Dr Neff's, Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind and Dr. Gremer's, The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions or others. Both are self-help books written in everyday language.Amazon links to check those out.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JN1DBO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid;=PBIW5LC7XHG&coliid;=I1E6ZXWRJ6K7J6http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CWSC06/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid;=PBIW5LC7XHG&coliid;=I2AQQOC6C33QUBDon't waste your money on this 'guide'. It's. Not. Worth. 2.99 or losing the hour it takes to read. I strongly recommend that you avoid this book.
