[.ca] Empowering Women: Every Womans Guide to Successful Living (ISBN 1561703575)

Same stuff in every book.:
Although, Louise has some very good points in any of her books, I find that she often repeats herself (down to the word or even entire chapter). Makes you wonder if she figured a way to generate more profits by publishing the same stuff in several books? I don't know... I didn't find 'Empowering Women' particularly inspiring. It's the same old story. Cliché. Rather then buy it, go to the library, pick one of her books (but skip this one, go for 'Heal your Life' or 'Life! Reflection...'). Read it. Use it if you think it's useful. One book is enough, honestly. One book will tell you all Louise has to say.

Old-lady attitude - but heck, she's an old lady!:
Louise Hay is starting to sound her age here - while there's some useful and motivating thoughts and information, such as the chapter on Choosing Positive Thoughts and Beliefs, and the chapter on Good Health, overall the tone is kind of "ancient". How many American women under 55 struggle with the self-esteem issues highlighted in this book? Not many, I'd wager! No one of my generation (Baby Boomer) has any trouble determining their self-worth REGARDLESS of their relationship with a man!? For my money, this book isn't up to Louise's usual par and comes off as almost patronizingly dull at points.

Empowering Women : Every Woman's Guide to Successful Living.:
This is a quick easy read, but very motivational. She has some great quotes geared towards promoting women's self esteem and in the back of the book gives reference to other books that she recommends. A book worth reading.
