A REVIEWofConquer Crisis with Health Esteemby Judith Parker HarrisI wanted to write a review of this book for all of those healthy readers who might not consider it to be of value to them. I was one of those people. I am rarely ill, consider myself a pretty well adjusted person, have friends, a career, and deal with all of lifes little surprises fairly well. Also I have rarely been interested in or read what I considered a self-help book. And then I turned 49. All of a sudden I wasn¹t dealing with anything very well. And I was going through a complete reevaluation of my entire life....and coming up short. It was a very uncomfortable year. It left me in something of a crisis. I picked up Judith Parker Harris¹ book because I have been privileged to work with her for the last few years producing public service announcements. For the first few years of our friendship, I didn¹t know that she had Multiple Sclerosis. And when I found out I was more than impressed by her ability to have cured her symptoms and controlled her disease. I have had friends completely debilitated by this disease and I had never known anyone who had managed to control it before. And when I talked to her about some of the things I was going through, she always had something very insightful to say. So I bought a copy of the book and skimmed it, pretty sure it wouldn¹t be relevant to my situation. I was wrong.I have now read Judith¹s book cover to cover. I did the exercises. I took a long time to finish the book. And as I did each of the exercises, and read each section, I found a clarity that I hadn¹t expected. More than once I found myself saying: Well this finally makes sense. She gave me the tools I needed to make some changes. And now I find that I¹m going back to reread certain parts of the book sort of as a measurement and check on myself. When I am faced with difficult decisions or situations that leave me feeling powerless I can refer back to this book to regain a sense of control, a feeling of being able to solve my problem in a healthy way. So, if you¹re looking for some answers, whether to a particular crisis or, as in my case, to several long standing issues you¹ve managed to not deal with and which are holding you back, you might try this book. It¹s one of the most worthwhile uses of time and energy I have encountered in a long time. To quote Heather Locklear and all those LOreal spokeswomen, in the end I did it because I¹m worth it.
Highly recommend this book to anyone looking for answers.

HONEST APPROACH TO SELF-HEALING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
"Conquer Crisis with Health Esteem" is about the truth---how searching for the truth will help increase your self-esteem. Facing your worst enemy, is another way of putting it. In 1985, author Judith Parker Harris did just that in order to get well from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Not accepting this fate and after months of hopeless searching for a cure within the traditional medical system, Judith turned inwards. She sought deep into her soul where haunting memories stepped forward demanding her immediate attention. Slowly Judith became an expert in healing herself. It took five years. This workbook combines the soul with the physical. It lists the many questions Judith had to face in order to get well as well as some of her encouragingly brave and open answers. "Conquer Crisis with Health Esteem" is for anyone who wishes to master any crisis.
