Dr. Frank Maurio’s book “The Strength Within” is both a warm and a slightly harsh book. The warmth comes from the personal experiences from the author’s youth and his compassion for the patients he counsels. The harshness – if one even would want to call it that – is the result of knowledge and certainty that we bring so much of our misfortunes upon ourselves simply because we lack enough self-esteem to ask and receive what we need and want in life.
In the book, the author shares his own struggles with weight and low self-esteem early in life, and tells us how he managed to overcome them. It is clear that those early challenges shaped Dr. Maurio’s character and probably made him even more responsive to the plight of others in similar situations. His proposed solution is called Inspirational Therapy, and it consists of seven steps. When followed appropriately, it promises to rid us the lack of self-esteem and give us freedom to accomplish what we desire.
Guiding the reader through the well-designed and easy-to-understand steps with the help of real-life stories and simple exercises, Dr. Frank Maurio helps the reader to build up his or her self-esteem to a level where the previously impossible goals become reachable and attainable. Several of the exercises, most notably the habit of keeping a journal and learning to meditate and relax, should prove to be helpful even to those who do not suffer from lack of self-esteem, but would simply like to get to know themselves better in order to achieve their dreams and goals faster and with less trouble.
Warm and upbeat, but never condescending or simplistic, this is a great self-help book for anybody who is willing to reach deep inside to bring out his or her full potential and live life to the max. “The Strength Within: 7 Steps to Overcoming Life’s Obstacles with Inspirational Therapy” by Dr. Frank Maurio would be a handy reference to keep on your desk or nightstand, since I sincerely believe it can make your life much easier by showing you how to let go of fear and reach for the stars.
