Summary

"A guide to why we should first love ourselves and how to go about it. Most women have been conditioned to believe that self-love is selfish and that self-sacrifice is a virtue. Many focus their desire for love and wholeness outside themselves andonto others, such as their partners, only to feel disappointed that they don't get back what they give. Does this ring true with you? With 'I love me more', entrepreneur, speaker, and single mom Jenna Banks crushes the myths about how we should relate to ourselves. She wants to help you stop freely giving all your power away and start understanding your worth"--Page 4 of cover.
