Stopping Your Self-Sabotage by Dr. Darryl Cross1. STOPPING YOUR SELF-SABOTAGE

8 Women Dream has an autographed copy of the new book, Stopping Your Self-Sabotage: Steps to Increase Your Self-Confidence, by Dr Darryl Cross and we want to give it to one of our treasured readers.

This books shows how can you be your best. Without doubt, the most commonly asked questions in the psychologist’s office are, “How can I improve my self-confidence?” “How can I feel less self-conscious?” “How can I learn to show courage and take more risks?” “Why am I so worried about what others think of me?”

This book answers those questions and provides a remedy about how to use basic psychological principles to change the way that people think, act and live. We are all products of our upbringing and “programming” and we sometimes fall into bad thinking habits and bad personal habits that see us sabotaging ourselves.

But there is a way out.

Dr. Darryl Cross is a clinical and organizational psychologist, certified executive and personal coach, university lecturer as well as author, and international speaker.  he is a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society and the Australian Institute of Management.  He has lectured in post-graduate psychology at both Macquarie University in Sydney and the University of Queensland in Brisbane, and is currently a sessional lecturer in “Leadership Dynamics” for the MBA Program at the University of South Australia.

You can find Dr. Cross at www.DrDarryl.com.

In this book, you will discover:

  • Why you believe that you are “not good enough”
  • Why inferiority feelings are a myth
  • How to eliminate negative self-talk
  • How think more positively
  • How to talk more positively
  • How to create a positive image of yourself
  • How to feel and act more positively
  • How to cope better with whatever comes along.

Catherine Hughes will be reviewing Stopping Your Self-Sabotage in a series of posts beginning in March 2012.
