This is a great place to communicate. I am a Positive Psychologist with several self-help books as well as an academic book in my field. My first book, THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy really got me going. This was my brainchild of early mid-life-based on interviewing women not in my practice and discovering an Aha! insight that led to this book. I discovered that women have a larger capacity for pleasure and joy that we usually assume. We are too bogged down in noticing what is not right in our lives or what our own personal failings are! Well, I could go on for a long time. Just let me say that we can help ourselves. We can recognize what is right about ourselves, rather than what is wrong! I am now working on my fifth book! Hope to continue! For those who don’t know me, I suggest going to www.enchantedself.com
