OrangeReviewStarMorin (13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do) has found through her therapeutic practice, personal life, and countless interviews that women intent on reaching their greater potential refused to indulge in counterproductive bad habits. Some of these maladaptive practices include comparing yourself to others, taking the blame when something goes wrong, and putting others down in order to lift yourself up. Morin spends a chapter on each action and provides ways to modify the behavior. The author further delves into sexism, challenging media images, and other societal issues with sage advice on building mental strength.
VERDICT Exemplary guidance for women of all ages.
