Recenzii

Her book is cleverly broken up into small chapters (probably to accommodate an audience that just doesn't have time to read). She gives clear instruction on overcoming fear and anxiety, developing the right mindset to succeed as a single human who must also provide for other humans. She draws from scientific research to help the reader be happy - not just get by - and lists twenty-two concrete happiness strategies. Most important, Sandy Chalkoun shows the single mother how to build her self-esteem, which was very likely tattered in her divorce. Through the book, women will learn to use their own power to improve the quality of their lives and their children's. Additionally, the author offers some solid parenting advice, which may be helpful to those single mothers who feel compelled to spoil their children (either by spending too much money on them, by giving in to their every whim, by doing things for them they can do for themselves, and so on).In the end, this guide should be reassuring to single mothers who wonder if they're doing 'it' right, whatever 'it' may be.
Chalkoun, a lawyer and single mother who has researched the science of happiness, positive psychology, and other areas, shares her knowledge for other single mothers who want to be stronger, happier, and more balanced. She discusses how to have the right belief and attitude and take action; transform fear, anxiety, guilt, and low-self-esteem into a positive attitude; and apply characteristics of this type of single mother and 22 happiness strategies-like finding a role model, sleeping well, laughing, exercising, and meditating-to create a better life for themselves and their families.
Don't let the title of this book fool you or scare you away into thinking you shouldn't read it if you are married, etc.. This book has so many applications that I've wanted to write her and ask her to retitle her book. The second subtitle of this book is called 'How to Successfully Pursue Happiness' and that is really what the book is about and it doesn't matter your status. Sandy Chalkoun is also a real and reachable person just like the rest of us.
Whether you read Single Mother in Charge from beginning to end, or read the sections as you need them, this will be a helpful addition to your personal library. The ideas presented in Single Mother In Charge will support you in living a happier life.
