Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 You must define yourself for yourself. You must love and like you or no one else will. You must know your value and claim what you deserve. Women are taught almost from birth that they are to be nurturers, supporters, and peacekeepers, but not winners.

#2 Your life Code is formed from the time you are a small girl. It is shaped by the influence of your parents and your nuclear family. And after the family, it is shaped by your community, by the friendships you form, and by the faith (or spiritual value system or lack thereof) your parents impart to you.

#3 The most important factor that determines your happiness, success, and joy in life is how well you value yourself. You must be defined first and foremost by your Creator and yourself. If you let others define you and tell you your value, your journey in life will be difficult and unfulfilling.

#4 The author spoke with Janet, who is a successful civil engineer, and Donna, who is an oncologist. Donna’s parents were both physicians, and her sister and brother both became physicians. Donna’s friends adore her, and she is always the life of the party. Meanwhile, Janet grew up hearing that she was not valued and that she would never be enough.
