A Simply Superb Self-Help Book
As an academic, I was a bit skeptical before I began reading a self-help book. However, after reading this book I was very nearly left wordless and that doesn’t happen often. Awen Finn has managed to give us something special, “How to Beat Criticism and Feel Good: Learn to shrug it off and move forward.” This book is written in an honest, intelligent and succinct manner, and in doing so, I believe it will be helpful to everyone from adolescents to even those in the field of psychology. Awen has presented thoughtful insight into criticism and some new ideas about dealing with criticism.

While reading this book, I began to reexamine my past and present and think of the future. My mother’s side of the family was/are very negative people. Naturally, I had a very strong emotional reaction while reading, but thanks to the author, I’ve started to think from new perspectives. So you can’t simply read the words, but you have to use the words and examine yourself and the other people in your life.

“How to Beat Criticism and Feel Good: Learn to shrug it off and move forward” gets my full approval.

I have been looking for a book like this for ages
What an empowering book!! I have been looking for a book like this for ages. A fantastic easy read where Awen uses her unique voice to reach out to the individual and provide them with simple techniques on how to control negative criticism, which I am sure we have all received at one time or another. If you are tired of hearing negative criticism and want to do something about it this book is a must read for you.

A must-have book for everyone
Anyone reading this book cannot fail to recognize themselves in it. Awen accurately identifies what happens to all of us under criticism, whether it be self criticism or that from others and then gives us the power to deal with it. You don't have to be an expert in the subject to get empowerment out if it. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Anwen, I can't wait to read you next book!
