l thought this book was a !!!!!!!!!!!!,:
I brought this book because, l thought it would be funny, l mean who could take themselves that seriously.Well,much to my surprise the author Alisa Burgess is serious.As you go through the book you soon realize that the author has had alot of problems in her life, and this book is an attempt to release her own anger.So l can see where this book could actually help people. l think if you do the opposite of what this book says you will be just fine. l encourage you readers to buy this book, and do the opposite, embrace love, forgive those who have hurt you,we are all connected in life, what you do to one, you do to yourself and all. One last thing, did the author write all of her reviews.

This book is amazing! Finally, an author who sees clearly into real life relationships.

This author puts you back in the drivers seat! She is great with the defensive arts! and teaches you how to get your personal power back and keep it. This book deserves the highest praise. Always edifying, self-affirming and filled with the best techniques for protecting yourself from negative people. A definite full 5 stars!

I LOVE this book!:
Alisa, thank you so very much for teaching me how to grow a second skin for my soul. You are an angel. The dagger chapter in your book was something of a visual aid that I used to explain myself to several important people in my life. This was something I did even before I found your book. After reading your book I was amazed and kept saying to myself over and over yes! Yes! FINALY someone understands!!! Thank you for your gift of knowledge, your perseverance, and your heart. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has been abused in more ways than one.

Best guide to "How to stop being hurt":
If you are an extremely decent and sensitive person who has been hurt repeatedly by others and unable to understand why others are hurting you and how to respond because you do not want to become "not nice," this book is for you. If in addition you enjoy clear and logical (almost scientific) explanations and easy to remember visualizations you are going to love this book. Dr Burgess finds the right words to approach feelings, fears, and emotions in the most logical way and provides answers to the questions I could not find anywhere else.

A Warm Fuzzy Shield:
This book helped me through a difficult time and allowed me to be strong and stay true to myself. Alisa provides great spiritual guidelines to help anyone stay focused and assertive in the face of hostility!
