Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a great resource on the need for validation and the potential for addictive behaviors.  After reading this book, it was surprising to see how many people fit the “validation addiction” description.  The author describes many different types of validation addicts and I believe most of us have someone in our lives that fits the description perfectly.  The underlying cause of low self-esteem is covered in detail, as well as the description and examples of healthy self-esteem.  The positive affirmations were helpful as a method for improving self-esteem.  There were also helpful methods for building self- esteem including journaling, meditation, and visualization.  A well-written and practical resource.
