Linda’s Book Obsession Review of “Stop Self-Sabotage” by Dr. Judy Ho, Ph.D., Harper Wave, 8/2019 Part of Suzy Approved Book Tours
Dr. Judy Ho, Author of “Stop Self- Sabotage” has written a wealth of intense information about sabotage and you. First of all, Dr. Judy Ho describes what sabotage is, and then how to deal with it. This book is crammed with a tremendous amount of information and charts. I personally don’t like writing in my books, so you are able to copy the charts. The author suggests the importance of a Journal and pen and pencil. While I was reading I constantly was taking notes, but that is my style of doing things. The Genres for this Book is Self-Help and Non-Fiction. This is not an easy read, and there is not a miracle cure for stopping to sabotage yourself.
There are some tests for you to figure out your triggers for sabotage, and there are ways that the author provides charts, case studies, and other doctor’s material. Basically, you have to own your behavior, and you can follow certain mental exercises, and plans that you have to work on. Changing your behavior takes time. I found this book to be interesting and was interested in some of the tests that I took. I would recommend this for readers interested in “Stopping Self-Sabotage” and looking to live a more productive life.
