from my experiences teaching ongoing self-esteem groups for the last
five years to teenage girls with poor body image, depression, drug use,
eating disorders, family conflict, low esteem, and peer conflict etc.

Praise and Reviews
Maryanne
McKowen - Adolescent Therapist
Teen girls, women, and even parents suffering from
childhood wounding will find resources and self-help methods for empowerment
and reclaiming a healthier body image. This book has experiential exercises and
crystal clear summaries highlighting important tools, which can be adopted for
your own tailor made program to build higher self-esteem. I will recommend this
book to the teen girls in my practice.
Robin
Jones, Mother of a teen daughter
Is
it really possible to have healthy self-esteem? I have asked this question of
myself and for my two daughters. As women, how do we stand strong against the
challenges of media to positive self-esteem? Michael offers practical tools
inviting you to choose to appreciate and love your unique self. This book
offers hope and encouragement to women and girls of all ages!
Priya Florence Shah, Author,
From Doormat to Devi
As the mother of a pre-teen
girl, I know the importance of healthy body image and self-esteem to young,
vulnerable women of her age. I am happy that Michael covered important issues
like body image and the pressure to be perfect, as teens need to know that it
is ok to have flaws. I highly recommend this book to all mothers of young women
and to all young women who feel the pressure to conform to society's impossible
expectations.

Michael shows teen girls how they
can have a healthy self-esteem by making healthy choices, appreciating their
own bodies, how they can choose positive reinforcing thoughts, and surround
themselves with people who will support them. A confident girl grows up to become
an empowered woman. 'Self-Esteem: A Teen's Guide for Girls' is a must have for
every young woman.'
