The Self-Love Experiment: Fifteen Principles for Becoming More Kind, Compassionate, and Accepting of Yourself Kindle Edition

Definitely not for me. I’ve been struggling and thought this book would help me, but I’ve read a quarter of it and just keep wondering when the book is going to start... I feel like she just keeps saying the same thing over and over and over and over again and telling me what the book is about but never actually starts the book.

What is most upsetting about this book is the way its branded as a self-love book. Its really just the author talking about how overweight she was ans how she struggled with that her whole life and that not everythings perfect now but she’s doing better. Waste of money and VERY repetitive - she uses the words my appearance ans overweight so many times you will start rolling your eyes. Its definitely not meant for a broader audiance.

If I had a dollar for every time she said "When I started my self-love experiment" I would be a millionaire. I was really excited for this book because self-love is SO important. However, I was expecting more actionable steps to practicing self-love (overcoming mental blocks, dealing with self-limiting behaviors) more of a "how-to". That is not what this book holds. She speaks a lot about her journey, but it feels overly repetitive and begins to feel like you're reading the same chapter over and over again, just reworded.If you're looking for a book that's going to have actionable steps, major breakthroughs, and examples on how to overcome a lack of self-love - this isn't it.If you want to read a book about the inner dialogue of someone trying to learn how to self love, about the inner musings that don't actually lead up to those wonderful "aha!" moments - this is it.

I was so excited for this book but it wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for more of an inner-self guidence not outer body. This was all about loving your outer body. She also had good ideas and examples but didn't tell you how to put these things into use

Ms. Kaiser is a life coach who, in the past, hated both her life and herself. So she decided to do something about changing her attitude and embarked on a self-love experiment. The book is the chronicle of her experiences with tips and guidance for readers to also learn to love themselves. If you are hard on yourself, hating parts of your body or life, this is a great book to learn how to turn around the self-sabotage and destructive thoughts or actions.

This is the book I've been waiting for around self-love. The author talks about her own journey, but at the same time, brings you along to help deepen into your own self-love. What I love about this book is that the message is honest - Self-Love isn't a quick fix, it's a journey of self-compassion, self-respect, and learning to accept the parts of yourself that you may not always view as lovable. So many excellent principles in here to help bring the message home. It's a must read.

When you are searching self-love, this book will show you the way.Shannon talks to you with kind and loving words. Your soul will appreciate it.Even if English is not your first language it will be easy to read this book.Holding this book i your hand will bring magic and love into your life.I bought a second one to my best friend which ended up at an other friend's hands so I must purchase the third.It's a MUST when you feel stuck in life and you already realized self-love is the key. Even if you don't know yet.More I read the book, more I get to know myself and how much I still can do for my happiness and to love myself unconditionally.Thanks Shannon

This book is full of epiphanies and personal stories. It is about facing and embracing the internal struggles we have, and framing them as wounds that need healing. It is about being present in the struggles and recognizing many of them are rooted in childhood when we didn't have the ability to resolve them. Wounds that don't heal, are often ignored, and when confronted sting. But we must clean the wounds.

Wow. Having read the book and been blessed enough to attend the recent Self Love Summit I can tell you that Shannon is an absolute beacon of light. This book and her words will stay with me always and you owe it to yourself to read this and emerse yourself in every word. Self love is not selfish, it’s essential to living a happy and fulfilled life.

Reading the self love experiment is like it was written just for me, it really speaks to my soul. Page after page of total gems to ponder on and work through.... We seek so much external validation, we think we are broken and wallow in self pity wondering what life would look like if only something could change. The Self-Love experiment is your change catalyst - you had the power all along my dear, just take a beat, look inside, you’ll find it all and more besides.

Amazing couldn’t put it down it has totally changed my mindset if anyone is suffering from an eating disorder or self love and the fact social media has taken over and makes everyone strive for perfection when in reality there is no perfection give this book a ready

Ive never read a book that I can relate to on so many levels. I’m always looking out for new self help books and this one is definitely a 10/10 for me. The author relates everything to EVERYONE on some level and offers great tips to help you achieve self love. Before reading this book I was a little reserved by the title as I struggle to “love myself” as many people do (as it sounds pig headed)...but this book helps you understand the importance of self love/care and gives you ideas on how to implement changes into your life. certainly this book is a good read if you need help in the self love department but without being brain washed into the psychology and science behind it!

Really enjoyable, some parts left me smiling inside :)Great wee book that I will return to when I need a recharge.
