This book reveals the origin of self-hate, how self-hate works, how to identify it, and how to go beyond it. It provides examples of some of the forms self-hate takes, including taking blame but not credit, holding grudges, and trying to be perfect, and explores the many facets of self-hate, including its role in addiction, the battering cycle, and the illusion of control. After addressing these factors, it illustrates how a meditation practice can be developed and practiced in efforts to free oneself from self-hating beliefs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Insights!
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2006

I have read several of this author's books, and have found all of them to be full of insights and helpful reminders about various things we can do to bring ourselves back to the present, and find the joy within ourselves.

"There is Nothing Wrong With You" discusses the fact that many of us were conditioned as children to believe that we are not inherently good. Although those words may not have been said to us directly, we got the message everytime we were told that we "should have done this", "should be ashamed of ourselves", "shouldn't have done that", etc... And that it's these types of messages that led to the creation of the "internal committee" that exists within all (or at least most) of us - you know, that comittee in your head that judges you harshly, reminds you of the negatives about yourself and others, and basically drives you crazy whenever you're trying to make a difference in your life (smile)...

The author ties all of this in with the ego - that part of ourselves that thrives on the power that we give to our "internal commitee" each time we believe the negative self-talk going on in our heads.

Evolving through this idea of the ego & internal committe, the author provides several ideas of how to deal with, and overcome the belief that we're not inherently good - a belief which leads us to beat ourselves up within our mind all too often (we come to believe that this punishment of ourselves will somehow make us be "good" people - but does it really???).

One of the main things I got from this book is the idea of having compassion for yourself. To ask yourself, if my best friend said to me the same things I'm saying to myself, would they remain my friend? Or, would I ever say this to someone I loved? If the answer is no, than it's a good idea to stop the voices in your head, and choose to have compassion for yourself - we all need compassion, so why not give it to yourself?

Another good insight was Cheri Huber's "rule of thumb" which states: if the voice within you is saying anything that isn't loving & compassionate, it's your ego talking, and it's a lie - DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON JUST AS YOU ARE!!!

Overall, I found this book to be an interesting, insightful, easy read, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to silence the negative self-talk going on within your mind. Although this book is written from a buddhist perspective, you definitely don't need to be a buddhist to gain from all of the wonderful insights included within the pages of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, straightforward, full of simple wisdom
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015

Cheri Huber is a terrific author. She makes so much sense. She is a Zen teacher, and very wise.

Personally, I like the design of all her books. They use a handwritten-looking font and a few cute, simple line drawings. Gives the books kind of a breezy, familiar feeling, like a very wise friend just left you a note on the kitchen table.

Sometimes self-help books are so loaded with scholarship, they are intimidating. As if you have to be a college graduate just to understand them. All those graphs, charts, lists, bullet points, and footnotes can be really off-putting. So many studies are quoted! Such a long list of references! And, really, you know . . . they don't have to be that way. It seems like all that stuff is in there just to impress people. Not really necessary and not really useful. So I find Cheri Huber's books to be refreshing. They just make sense. The solutions to human problems are simple, but create profound change. Huber leads the reader through the origins of human issues like depression, fear, shame, etc. and clears up a lot of nonsense. She shows you simple solutions. I think these books really help people, really show a better way to understand yourself and make positive changes in your life.

To those people who don't like this design and think it looks unprofessional, let me just say: read it before you judge it. These books are special.

I borrowed this book from a friend after I realized the committee of a**holes yammering in my head was anything but loving and compassionate. Somehow I had to learn to love myself. I signed up for a Debbie Ford telecourse (Love Beyond Belief--excellent course) and supplemented it with this book, and Be the Person You Want to Find, also by Cheri Huber. Both books are excellent but this is my favorite. It's simple, it's fun, it's brilliant. It got me back into meditating which has been wonderfully calming and enlightening. Reading this reminded me that it's not about what I do or become but about who I am BEing right now in this moment. I dont have to prove anything! I started taking notes as I read my borrowed copy and quickly realized I needed to buy my own copy and did. Now I can scribble in it and read it whenever I need a reality check. I can honestly say now, there is nothing wrong with me! I also plan to read The Depression Book since I have been thru some depressions in the past and believe it is hereditary in my family. These books are good medicine. Since taking the Debbie Ford course and reading Cheri's books I have been able to wean completely off the Lexipro antidepressant I'd been taking for over a year. I feel great and my libido is coming back from the dead. Thank you Cheri!!

Initially I simply couldn’t get into this book because it’s printed in a really distracting font similar to Comic Sans, and that made the message harder for me to absorb. Once I adjusted, I found the message powerful. It’s simplistic but hits home and did help me let go of some negative emotions. So it was worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affirming and Game Changing
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020

I read this book when I was going through a really dark time and have found myself going back to it many times since. I was resistant to reading this book because I felt like the premise was scapegoating and the font was insufferable but boy, what a book. The simple style and writing were so helpful when I was in the depths of depression because digesting anything meaningful was hard. This book broke down the toxic self-blaming cycle I found myself in and I devoured it. The book itself didn't radically change my life overnight but the principles and message of it stuck with me. My mom gave me this book and I would highly recommend gifting it to someone who is way too hard on themselves or stuck in their own negative feedback loop OR for yourself if you're going through a hard time. I would recommend to anyone who's working on re-parenting themselves or trying to mend trauma. Lovely read and something I will always go back to.

This is one of those books that I keep buying copies of to give to friends. It's beautifully and simply written without a single wasted word. And it's very effective:

"You have been taught that there is something wrong with you,
and that you are imperfect.
But there isn't
and you're not."

Cheri must be a wonderful person, she truly speak to your heart without pre-concepts. I think I'll but all her books.. this one really helped me and I recommend it to everyone, no matter who you are and what is your story, you'll find something useful here.
