Peg Streep Bücher

Mastering the Art of Quitting explores the "myth of persistence" and the fascinating psychology of why and how we sabotage

A self-help book based in science, the result of more than a decade of research, Daughter Detox offers the daughters of unloving mothers vital information, guidance, and real strategies for healing from childhood experiences, and building genuine self-esteem. Writer Peg Streep lays out seven distinct but interconnected stages on the path to reclaim your life from the effects of a toxic childhood: DISCOVERY, DISCERNMENT, DISTINGUISH, DISARM, RECLAIM, REDIRECT, and RECOVER. Each step is clearly explained, and richly detailed with the stories of other women, approaches drawn from psychology and other disciplines, and unique exercises. The book will help the reader tackle her own self-doubt and become consciously aware of how her mother’s treatment continues to shape her behavior, even today.

Featuring the voices of distinguished women of arts and letters--Anne Morrow Lindbergh, May Sarton, Emily Dickinson, Annie Dillard, Alice Walker, Georgia O'Keeffe, Maya Angelou, and others--these meditations offer reflections on the experiences in a woman's life. Full-color. Slipcased.
