Reinventing Myself Summary:

Reinventing Myself – Sonya Green
Insightful and thought provoking articles on personal growth and healing


Sonya Green’s frank yet profound collection of articles and musings on what it is to be truly alive come like a breath of fresh air to a closed room. She encourages us all to step back from the details and look at the larger picture of our lives; the patterns and connections that create and energise our relationships to our bodies, our loved ones, our environment, and even life itself.

For several years Sonya has shared her approaches with a strong online community through her website www.reinventingmyself.com and now the most popular articles have been revised and compiled as a paperback.

“I read this book with great delight in the fact that someone has finally put into words what I have suspected for a long time. I have pondered the big questions for more than thirty years but you have taken this complex subject matter and simply "Nailed It”. This is a book to re-read and a book to pass along. (Except mine is full of highlights and notes to myself!). Brilliant!!!” Phil~Fremantle

"The best book I've read this year on self-esteem and personal development. It has motivated me to get out of the rut, cut ties with people who humiliate me and get back into the life I want to live. I lost 10 kg in 3 months, and am feeling younger than I've felt for a long time. I'm 53 now but feel 36 after having taken control of my life. Real life experiences, easy to read, with a sense of humour not readily found on such vital topics in a chaotic world. Absolutely fabulous, a must read for anyone who is serious about improving their lifestyle.” W.V.~Riverton

“I can’t remember ever reading a book which hit so many emotional responses within me. Sonya Green’s Reinventing Myself articles have made me laugh and cry, but most of all they have made me think and react. You don’t just read Sonya’s words; you have a relationship with her. Her raw honesty and simplicity of profound insight makes you wonder if you know her as one only knows an intimate friend. I had the feeling she had managed to wander around inside the secret places within me and then presented me with a true reflection of what life could be.

I love personal development books and have read most of the best sellers. I don’t consider myself to be a lost soul or someone in need of psychological help. My interest has always been about having the best life possible. My goals are simple – to be the best, have the best and do my best. I know that how I think or what I think is the key. I know it, practice it and preach it myself. We hear this all the time and yet we so easily forget it in our day to day routines.

This is not just another positive thinking book nor is it a rehash of all the other psycho babble. It is refreshing, light and practical. It is for real people, living in the real world. I am sure that anyone can open this book at any page and find something which hits a cord. I would recommend this book to anyone capable of depth of thought or feeling.” Janet~Melbourne
