I Heart Me: The Science of Self-Love Kindle Edition

Do you truly love yourself?

How much love do you have for yourself? Not the narcissistic 'Aren't I wonderful' kind of love, but the essential regard for self that empowers you and helps you navigate through life. The type of love that enables you to feel safe and secure in who you are and inspires you to make choices that are good for your authentic self.

When scientist David Hamilton realized that his own lack of self-love was sabotaging him in hundreds of subtle ways and more than a handful of major ways, he devised an experiment using himself as the guinea pig. For more than a year David studied the latest research into brain chemistry, neuroscience, and psychotherapeutic and personal development techniques. He realized that self-love was as much about biology as psychology - that self-worth is in our genes, but trained out of us. The biological drive to seek connection with others often leads us to try to be 'someone else' to win love and approval. But the brain can be reprogrammed, and David devised 27 powerful exercises that he tested on himself and presents in the book to help you:

· Increase your own level of self-worth

· Connect powerfully with your authentic self

· Attain a greater sense of happiness and general wellbeing

· Create stronger and more real connections with others

Dr. Hamiltons advice for dealing with fear was especially meaningful for me. I get terribly nervous when speaking in public. He offers a better thought process to deal with our insecurities. I will definitely be trying his meditations. Thank you for another wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I heart this book!

This book is amazing. I read the paperback a year or so ago at the beginning of my self-love journey. I urged a number of people I knew to read it too, and some time later, my boyfriend has finally got around to reading it. He has reminded me how great it is, and I’m now listening to the audiobook.

I think until I came across David Hamilton I didn’t really know what self-love was. I then came to the conclusion that a) the vast majority of people don’t know what it is either, and definitely don’t have it and b) lack of self-love is really the root of most of the problems we all have. It’s not easy to learn self-love after years of doing the exact opposite! It’s probably a lifetime’s work really. But it is definitely worth it. In this book, David guides you through the science behind why self-love is important, and why a lot of us don’t love ourselves. He gives tips on how to learn to love ourselves, and most importantly, shares his journey as proof it is possible to change. Thank you David, this book has honestly changed my life, and I think it may be about to change my boyfriend’s life too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Put This At the Top of Your Self-Help Reading List

With so many self-help books out there, how do you know which one to choose? Put David Hamilton's I <3 Me at the top of your list. I watched some of his YouTube videos while waiting for my book to arrive. I could literally and figuratively hear his voice with its lilting Scottish accent as I read his book beckoning me toward a path of self-love. He provides the reader with intimate details of his own journey from doubt, lack of self-confidence and self-esteem to self-love. There are activities to use to practice rewiring the brain. The analogy of strengthening self-love muscles to other muscles by framing the activities as gym activities is brilliant. The section on body image strongly resonated with me and I was able to make a shift in my beliefs and behaviors about my appearance which I will continue to practice. David is more than a self-help "guru"; he is a scientist with a passion for others to discover the Truth of who we are. He uses dry humor and his experience in the pharmaceutical industry to help us understand how easy it is for us to get stuck in a world of self-doubt and a lack of confidence and brings compassion, kindness and love to fill our hearts, minds and souls so we can transform by reading and practicing the activities in I <3 Me.
