Each web site is different.  Many post Dr. Holstein’s weekly column which covers a broad range of topics and stories.  Others post articles and interviews that focus specifically on their site visitor’s interests.  For a complete list of places to learn about Dr. Holstein on- and off-line visit her web site at www.enchantedself.com/index.html.

Dr. Holstein’s contributions to these web sites include explanations of The Enchanted Self core concepts as well as her personal experiences that have led her to discover her own path to enchantment.  This includes the story behind how Dr. Holstein came to be named the ‘Enchantress’ of positive psychology and how the title gave her the necessary energy and endurance to release her creativity. Readers will also get a feel for why she has chosen this name for herself by revisiting her work over the last 20 years in private practice as a psychologist and how the energy around naming a concept or one’s self is activated.  Dr. Holstein’s core messages teach us how to truly enjoy our lives and give them meaning, hope and purpose.  These are lives of well-being and ‘enchantment’.  Her primary focus is on one’s positive psychology rather than rehashing bad experiences.  She will also explain “what’s right with you–not what’s wrong!”

Dr. Holstein has been a psychologist in private practice and licensed in the states of New Jersey and Massachusetts since 1981.  She has been continually spreading her message of enchantment through books, e-books, print and electronic newsletters, workshops, tele-classes, radio, and her web site at www.enchantedself.com.

To learn more about the concepts of The Enchanted Self, you can read Dr. Holstein’s first book, THE ENCHANTED SELF, A Positive Therapy, which is now in its second printing.  Her second book, RECIPES FOR ENCHANTMENT, The secret ingredient is YOU! is available through 1^st Books Library at www.1stbooks.com.  You can also visit her web site at www.enchantedself.com.  If you want to share your own personal magic with others join her e-group at www.egroups.com/subscribe/encself.
