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.
 
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.'

This is a book that I wish was available when I was young because I'm sure the info in it would have helped me tremendously. There is a quiz for you to take so the young lady can learn her level of self-esteem. Question #10 was: Do you fear making mistakes. Be sure to get this book for your young teen daughter, niece or friend's daughter. It may help to shape their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every father needs this book.
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012

Years ago during my late teens and early twenties I noticed that most of the girls I dated or was friends with who exhibited low self-esteem all had one thing in common. They all seemed to have difficult or non-existent relationships with their father. Now that I'm older and a new father to a four year old little girl I've been very conscious of my role in her life and the effects it will have in her later life.

Having said all that I was amazed at how little I knew about girl's inner worlds until I read this book! Probably the most important lesson I learned was in the last section dedicated to parents. It had to do with listening to validate instead of offering advice. I think most men have this problem....we're problem solvers and if our wives or daughters are sharing some difficulty we assume they're asking for our advice. This book makes it clear that is not the case and all they're really looking for is validation and acknowledgement. This book is full of helpful info like this that is probably obvious to women but not so obvious to us men. :)

So even though this book is geared towards teen girls, it's actually quite helpful for the parents as well. Having never been a teen girl myself (haha) it's sometimes a mystery what's going through their heads. And it seems as men our first and innate reactions are exactly the opposite of what it should be. So this book is quite helpful in bringing such things into the light.

Yes, get this book for your daughter....but make sure you read it yourself as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teenage Girl's Self Esteem
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2012

This book may be addressing a teenage girl, but honestly, at it's core it can be addressing anyone, male or female, old or young. It is a very well constructed guide in which the reader is lead to self-evaluate their looks, attitudes, reactions, interactions and needs. In doing so, areas that need closer examination in the light of self-appreciation, self-love, self-esteem, which are really all the same, are revealed.

For instance, the exercise that questions, "Who Am I?" in which the reader jots down 20 adjectives that describe their personality, another 20 that describe appearance as reflected in a mirror, then 20 describing the less superficial aspects of the "inner person," is universal. Whether positive or negative, descriptives are written down, evaluated as to how many are positive and how many are negative. Each day the reader reviews the positive, building on them to achieve a healthier self-view.

There are many revelations based on social and family relations, along with family role models to prevailing attitudes in the media. All lead to aha moments followed by exercises that are constructed on them.

Anyone parent or teen, reading this book will come to a greater understanding of the development of a teenage girl's self-esteem. Working with the described exercises and the enlightened thoughts and inspiration can readily shape self-esteem.

2.0 out of 5 stars wrong image on cover
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013
In my opinion, putting a photo of a slim girl in a bikini gives the wrong message. If you are writing a book about self esteem, it should be especially about those who don't fit into the norm of the media. No matter how good the information in the book, the image already gives the wrong message. Could you see a book for teen boys wearing a bathing suit?

5.0 out of 5 stars This Guide is For All Females Regardless of Age
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2013

This guide approaches self esteem through shared words written by teens and celebrities who run the gamut of age brackets. It is not theory but actual how-to complete with exercise and recommendations for self tests and tracking where one is on her journey.
I found the introduction to each chapter helpful - letting readers know what to expect as well as the summary that basically reminds you of what you just discovered - or were reminded about.

As a retired psychotherapist I know that the issues revealed apply to women of all ages who have yet to face the programming within their subconscious that keeps them hooked on media values and outside influences.

I highly recommend this book to all women and to the men who love them - or simply want an idea of what goes on in the minds of many of women. This information allows a man to support and love his woman for who she is rather than who she is not.

4.0 out of 5 stars An amazing resource for girl's wanting to improve their self esteem
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2012

Having worked for many years with disadvantaged teenagers, I was very interested to read this book. What I discovered was how little I knew about the mind set of many teenage girls. I am not sure if American teenagers are perhaps more aware of media pressure, but learning about the age at which these girls start to become aware of their body image was a complete shock to me.

The book is well researched with lots of excellent information and helpful exercises. My only concern was whether a teenage girl with self image problems would be motivated enough to read a book like this, and thought therefore it would probably more appropriate for an adult who might wish to help the teenager to work through the various exercises
