The Path to Self-Love and World Domination

Marni Penning is the narrator of this mental health guide aimed at people who suspect they're holding themselves back in life because of negative emotions they've internalized from being emotionally deprived, traumatized, or developmentally impaired. She delivers a technically perfect performance that makes everything clear, though without capturing the pathos of author Heidi Green's backstory and the compassion of her humanitarian intentions. Dr. Green, a psychotherapist and thoughtful reporter on the human condition, offers vivid examples of suppressed lives that were turned around by the common-sense program outlined here. She says people can build the inner resources needed to move their lives forward by cultivating the thinking and habits associated with six core traits: self-kindness, self-acceptance, self-parenting, self-commitment, self-forgiveness, and self-respect.
