On a Clear Day You Can See Yourself: Turning the Life You Have Into the Life You Want

"Dr. Sonya Friedman's words speak to the untapped potential in all of us."--Wayne Dyer, author of Your Erroneous Zones

From the perfect homemaker of the 1950s through the superwoman of the 1980s, women have been trying on role after role in their quest for self-fulfillment--and often falling short. Why? Because in the midst of all this change, there is one debilitating constant: the myth that happiness will find us, in the right partner, the right home, or the right job.

Dr. Sonya Friedman understands this phenomenon all too well. A practicing psychotherapist, bestselling author, and former television host, Dr. Friedman had to battle her way out of a troubled childhood to make her own place in the world, in spite of all the messages she received about what was "best for her." In this thoughtful and inspiring book, she shows how you too can throw away society's expectations, bolster your self-esteem, and take responsibility for your own life. Dr. Friedman takes you from awareness to action with:

- The Nine Myths that women are taught about their lives--and the Nine Facts that will free you from them
- The Four R's of Positive Action for jump-starting your life in the direction you want
- Emotional Fitness Exercises to get you ready to face change in healthful, mindful, and exciting ways
- Empowering Seven Goals for Grown-Up Women that will help you decide what you want as an adult--and, even more importantly, achieve your dreams!
