Title: Big fat lies women tell themselves
Description: "Most women have a nonstop chorus of criticism in their heads - voices not unlike those of the mean girls lurking in the hallways and locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere.

Here, like a best-buddy, street-wise big sister, coach Amy Ahlers helps women talk back.

Ahlers doesn't offer long-winded self-therapy or simplistic happy talk; she serves up straight talk that helps women know, feel, and tell themselves the truths that transform their deepest inner thoughts - and their lives"--
