The Power of Women: Harness Your Unique Strengths at Home, at Work, and in Your Community

From the bestselling author of Women Who Think Too Much, a groundbreaking self-improvement program that empowers women.

Library Journal

Yale psychology professor Nolen-Hoeksema follows up Women Who Think Too Much (2003) and Eating, Drinking, Overthinking (2005)—abridged recordings of which are also available from Macmillan Audio—with this program designed to help women make the most of their individual mental, identity, emotional, and relational strengths. She includes dozens of written exercises (available as downloadable PDFs via us.macmillan.com) to help pinpoint and build these strengths. The author's own reading of the well-abridged text is clear and reassuring; however, while the exercises are very useful, they require a significant time commitment. Those seeking a condensed but comprehensive self-help program are sure to benefit from this reasonably priced title.—Beth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., Garrettsville, OH
