Customer Reviews

A must read for most every woman.

A well written book which sheds light on the root cause of "need to shop" behaviors. The book reads like a fun novel but very intelligently written with loads of information. Most anyone will benefit from reading this book.

Understand Your Compulsion to Overspend

Do you spend too much money? Are you getting deeper into debt and can't understand why you can't stop the downward spiral?This book will help you discover the reasons why you over-indulge in spending and shopping. The author uses lots of "case studies", and most over-spenders are sure to recognize themselves in her examples. Her plan for HOW to stop could be stronger, but you can't beat the clear, concise way she lays out the reasons behind the urges.Read this along with, say, Jerrold Mundis' "Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, And Live Prosperously" and you'll be on the way to "cured".

Good Practical Help

"I loved this book because it's helped me a lot. I've had it for a while and re-read certain parts when I'm feeling low and want to shop. I understood perfectly what the author was saying about shopaholics and those with a worse problem like mine. It's like the difference between a social drinker and an alcoholic.
