Book Review

• Are you ready to make real, lasting, positive changes in your life?
• Are you tired of “trying” to make changes and failing?
• Are you ready to challenge yourself and win?

Then, The Hardline Self Help Handbook by Paula Renaye is for you!

From the front cover to the back cover, I knew that this book was going to be different than every other self-help book I’ve read…and I was right! Refreshingly honest and forthright about the work that it takes to make changes in your life: it means that you have to truly come to grips with who you are, what you’re willing to do to change and what you’re not willing to do.

Paula helps the reader to start EXACTLY where they need to start, not with the idea of what you want to change, but with self-reflection, asking yourself tough questions and committing to working through the answers, even if the answers aren’t what you thought. Each chapter is filled with wisdom and in true handbook fashion, has worksheets to fill out as you come to grips with the answers that you discover about yourself along the way.

Favorite Quotes

Paula Renaye, author

“Forgiving isn’t about making other people okay and absolving them of wrongdoing. Forgiving is about cleaning your slate and keeping it clean.”

“Don’t ever give away your power to another person. It’s your life. Own it!”

“Choosing the hard-line approach takes courage. It’s hard to take that first look in the mirror and not blink. But it’s absolutely essential.”

“Admitting the truth doesn’t mean you have to turn your life upside down this very minute. The only thing you have to do right now is make friends with Reality.”
