The Message Got Through
My daughter was bored Sunday afternoon and I had to go to work,
so I threw her my copy of Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head
and said, “Read this and I’ll be home by the time you’re finished.”

When I cam home she was sitting in the carport crying her eyes out.
She wouldn’t stop crying. I was worried. I aksed her, “Who has been
hurting you? Was it your brother? Was it your sister?
Tell me. Who is it that has hurt you?

She finally answered me through her tears, “I just found out it’s me.”

When she calmed down she told me that when she read
Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head she finally heard
all the things I have always tried to teach her.

Thank you for saying what I wanted her to know in a way that she could hear it

A Self-Help Book Even Teens and Tweens Will Enjoy

Every adult who has wanted to pass self-help philosophy on to young people
will want a copy ofDear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head.
Through it's delightful simplicity, self-help knowledge is rendered more useful than ever.

Sally Jordan, owner, Jeremy's Bookshelf

There is a real shortage of good, meaningful books for teenagers today.
We have books on self-realization for adults.
But, sadly, we have few for those who need it most -
tomorrow's mothers and fathers!
It is difficult to judge how big an impact Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head will have upon their lives.
It is my hope that the seeds of new thinking will have been planted in their consciousness.

Darlene Abraham, teacher, Parkhill Girls Home, Ontario, Canada

This book seems like my life.

Truly Entertaining

Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head makes you laugh, and cry,
and remember to choose peace of mind for yourself.

Margot Curtis, Manager, Unity Bookstore

Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head is a delightful book with the practical message of
how to raise your self-worth and find peace of mind by using your power of choice.

This book is written from the viewpoint of a teenager whose humorous thoughts will make you laugh out loud
....and remember to overcome problems as she does.

Al Reed, Minister, Science of Mind

One of the reasons I liked the book is because it sounds like you've gone through many of the situations
that I've gone through. I have learned from your book that
I can control my thoughts and how to handle my problems.

It will take me a while to do so because I'm a very bad tempered person and
I have a hard time trying to control my emotions.
Also, I don't have much self confidence, but I will TRY.

As a matter of fact, I WILL follow in your footsteps because
I'm going home for good in two and a half weeks so I'll need the support!

Laura Adams, student Parkhill Girls Home, Ontario, Canada

Boys Enjoy the Diary, too

Many girls feel like they're reading their own emotional diary, while boy's love reading what goes on in a girl's mind and they relate to George, the older brother, who is somewhat of a hero in the story.

My brother has been so much nicer since he read
Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head

Now he thinks he's just like her brother George, you know, wise and mature and the world's best brother.
It's really been great for me.

Sandy Corman, age 15

This Book Contains Self-Help for Depression

Studies show that therapy works just as well as antidepressants in treating depression,
and it’s better at preventing relapse once treatment ends.
While depression medication only helps as long as you’re taking it,
the emotional insights and coping skills acquired during therapy
can have a more lasting effect on depression.

 

Dear Diary/ It's All in YOur Head breaks down life lessons in a way that anyone could understand, young and old alike. I was lucky enough to come across this book at a time in my life when I could use a mental boost. Sometimes life just happens, and you feel just kind of dragged along by it instead of being an active participant. This book reminded me that tough situations are going to happen. You cannot control the inevitable, what you can control is your attitude, and how you perceive things. The very best friend that you can have is yourself, but that is a decision that you have to make. So why not choose to love yourself?!
