Review by Booklist Review

Deschene founded her popular website, www.tinybuddha.com, to provide a forum where people could share stories anonymously and support each other in today's fast-paced society. Now, she's collected 40 blog posts from the site and compiled them into a book centered around the theme of self-love. Deschene provides an introduction to establish her own stake in the struggle for personal acceptance, but throughout she lets the posts speak for themselves with little analysis. The book is organized into chapters focused on a particular barrier to self-love, such as childhood trauma, comparing oneself to others, or lack of self-forgiveness. Deschene has done an excellent job of avoiding repetition, ensuring each individual post is unique and resonant. The book also includes tips and quotes for those looking for smaller guideposts along the path to a more serene inner state. This text would be ideal for anyone struggling with recent life upheaval or just working to let go of things they regret and in the end, isn't that all of us?--Peckham, Amber Copyright 2010 Booklist
