Book Cover & Preview Text
There are scores of self-help books that suggest that the key to loving someone else is to love yourself first. This tenet may be true, but could you really commit to loving yourself from now until the end of time or "...until death do us part"? What makes the question "Would you marry you?" so intriguing is that it is an invitation to evaluate yourself and how you experience yourself. This book is peculiar in that it is not another self-help book that tells you what you should or should not do in order to love yourself. It is a book of questions for you to respond to about what you like and don't like about yourself.
