Publisher's summary

Put a stop to self-sabotage and overcome your fears so that you can gain the confidence you need to reach your goals and become your own best friend.

Too many people seem to believe that they are not allowed to put themselves first or go after their own dreams out of fear of being selfish or sacrificing others' needs. The Self-Love Experiment rectifies this problem. Whether you want to achieve weight loss, land your dream job, find your soul mate, or get out of debt, it all comes back to self-love and accepting yourself first. Shannon Kaiser learned the secrets to loving herself, finding purpose, and living a passion-filled life after recovering from eating disorders, drug addictions, corporate burnout, and depression.

Shannon walks you through her own personal experiment, a simple plan that compassionately guides you through the process of removing fear-based thoughts, so you can fall in love with life. If you want to change your outcome in life, you have to change your daily habits and perspective. Shannon takes you on this great journey into self-love and true self-acceptance.

Took a while to get to the tips

This book was worth reading - it motivated me to love myself, so the goal was met, but her personal story dragged out too long - I would have preferred more tips in a more organized fashion in the beginning of the book.

Maybe it was because I was ready to hear her message- but this book spoke to me in a language I understood clearly!

Sometimes it takes having something communicated in a certain way to make me hear it. This author spoke my language! Such easily do-able "homework", suggestions, and perspectives! She's very human and vulnerable in sharing her personal experiences which brought down my own guard, and enabled me to accept what she had to say. I could visualize and accept, take in her messages. I found myself shedding tears every time I listened. I appreciate all the intense and painful work that obviously went into creating this writing!! Thank you for this gift

Not for me.

Perhaps it would have been a better book to read rather than listen to so that I could hear it in my own voice. The author’s voice and deliverance was distracting for me personally so I found that I could only stand it in small chunks.

Aside from the performance, I felt like the entire book was circumventing something but never really getting there. Almost like an “I did it, and you can too!” book. I found it a bit repetitive and even contradictory at times. There were some good pieces of advice but mainly fluff mixed with personal stories I found it hard to connect with and motivational quotes.

Surface level for me

I am all about encouraging body positivity and self love, but it all revolved around body weight. I am also not religious, so the comments about loving yourself because “God is Love” didn’t do it for me. It felt rather surface level and not digging deep enough in my opinion. I’m not going to downplay the seriousness of an ED, as I am a survivor myself, but self love isn’t just about how much you weigh, how much weight you gain it’s so much more than that.
I would recommended this to people who are currently in the throws of struggling to lose weight, and that being all encompassing for you, and people who believe in God. Just not for me, best wishes.

It’s not her, it’s me

I really just couldn’t get into the book. I thought it had some great messages but I never got hooked on it. Was wondering if I was just not in the right state of mind.

Great read but for a very specific audience

I enjoyed the book and learned a lot but had difficulty connecting the authors specific experiences with my own.

Shannon is an amazing writer. This book really gets you thinking and has helped me to be more compassionate towards myself and my journey. Shannon has a nice, soothing voice and I cannot speak highly enough about this.

A Very "Self-Aware" && Vulnerable Truth

I listened deeply to her words--
I could tell where she had Self-Doubt..
Her intentions kept to her word
This time =

And what a Beautiful thing --
To Self-Actualize:
From Your own Suffering?!

--

Your words gave me more
Poetry.
