My Books
THE TRUTH: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything!
In the mothers' and daughters' version, this girl encapsulates the spark and energy that your daughter has inside of her, and that you had inside of yourself as a girl. It is this special capacity for fun and wisdom that we need to protect in our girls and get back to ourselves!
Let's rejoice in the girl inside of ourselves. Let's give courage and affirmation to our daughters and granddaughters so they know from the inside out, it is ok, in fact, essential to keep her alive, as they grow up.
The Truth, I'm 10, I'm Smart & I Know Everything.
The adult women's version is a delightful, humorous secret diary, written by a girl who is 10-11 years of age. She is wise and yet so innocent. She makes us cry and laugh and remember ourselves. Behind this very easy read is the psychological message to the women reading THE TRUTH that they can and must recapture the fire and passion of their girlhoods not only for themselves to flourish and be happy, but for the next generation to also have the gifts of good emotional and spiritual health.
This book is filled with emotional and delightful reminiscences that will charm you even as you are inspired to begin thinking of your own ways to bring delight into your hearts.
A collection of stories that is guaranteed to make you Feel Good. Click on the title to find out about the free gifts you will receive or here to learn more about the stories.
Recipes for Enchantment, The Secret Ingredient is YOU! is a culmination of over ten years of work and research in the field of personal enchantment by Dr. Barbara. She teaches us how to recall positive memories, regardless of our history, recognize our potential, and bring into our lives more of what gives us pleasure and joy. This is all combined with daily positive actions.
The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy
Through my work as a therapist, I have become concerned that we do not keep clearly enough how to reclaim what is positive about ourselves. This led me to write my book, The Enchanted Self, A Positive Therapy, published in 1997 by Harwood Academic Press. This book was probably the first and only book for mental health care providers and the interested public, to lay out the tools necessary to create a positive mind set and live an affirmative and affirming way of life!

Use of Memory to Enhance Pleasure and Meaning -A Positive Psychology Technique that is core to THE ENCHANTED SELF
The field of Positive Psychology research is exploding. As a positive pscyhologist I am always concerned that people get a sense of what happiness is really all about. It does take work to be happy. However, it certainly takes work and strain to be unhappy. So we might as well work on happiness. In order to increase happiness of course we need to recognize what we enjoy, what gives us pleasure and also what has meaning in our lives. We are not just creates of passion, eager to indulge in endless pleasure. We need MORE.The question that I am concerned about is how to we find that MORE in a way that is consistent with our unique personalities. MORE for me would certainly not be a golf game, even on a beautiful course in Florida.
The way that we find and examine the MORE is to learn how to use our memory banks in positive rather than negative ways-to search our own unique store of memories and impressions in a way that enhances what is right about ourselves, rather than what is wrong and also enhances our recognition of what the MORE might be for each person.
