Book Review: "Self Matters"? More like, "SELF LOATHING"!
Summary: 1 Stars
I picked up this book one night at a local super store. I cracked it open and began to read. It appeared to offer something... then I started reading it at home.
I may have been in a vulnerable state and just wanted someone to tell me how to fix things and make me a better man. I'd heard Dr. Phil was just that type of person so, why not?
This all happened last year. I started reading it and felt like I was just spinning my tires. He spun some good stories in there, but just when I thought the Dr. would deliver something I could sink my teeth into, he would go on AGAIN about the "actualized self" or some other buzz word. I quite reading it after 2 chapters.
A few weeks ago I had a long trip and picked up the book on tape at the library [*a good option before you buy it!]. I figured that maybe I didn't give it a chance. Again and again I heard how "I wasn't this" or "I wasn't that" and "I'll never be this until I come face to face with my 'actualized self'." I fast forwarded the type and listened AGAIN AND AGAIN. Same thing.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard "actualized self" or whatever he referred to, I'd be self-made and rich like Dr. Phil.
BOTTOM LINE: I felt worse about myself because of this book. [*I admit I didn't read it all, but felt I'd end up a miserable self-loathing, "actualized self" by book's end!]
