Overview Ratings & Reviews

I wrote this book to help teenage girls feel better about how you look and feel about yourself.

As you read this book, you will learn tips, exercises, and receive advice from other teens, as well as female celebrities who overcame body image and esteem issues similar to yours. You will also receive the benefit 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.

I have worked for the last 10 years as a Residential Coach and Mentor at therapeutic boarding schools teaching teenage girls self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-reliance. One of the purposes in my life involves assisting teenage girls to improve their emotional health and well-being.

In this book you will learn how to feel better about your body and improve your relationships with your friends and parents. You will have tools to booster your self-esteem, feel less depressed, overcome eating disorders, and improve your body image.

You have the power to change how you feel about yourself on the inside, regardless of how you look on the outside. You can let your inner beauty shine through by developing the qualities of confidence, happiness, intelligence, and loving kindness. Loving yourself builds the foundation for happiness and success in your adult life in college, career, and relationships.

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.

Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten
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.'
