In APPROVAL ADDICTION, Joyce Meyer explains that we have an epidemic of insecurity in our society. She believes that many people suffer from an unhealthy need for constant affirmation. Those who are insecure experience problems in their relations with friends and loved ones. For some, looking for approval becomes a real addiction as they have to seek self-worth from the world because they can’t find it within themselves or around those they love.
Ms. Meyer has personal experience with feeling insecure. She searched for approval from others herself and understands rejection and low self-esteem. Eventually, Ms. Meyer learned that true security comes from God.
APPROVAL ADDICTION has chapters addressing:
. Facing fear and finding freedom . Knowing who you are . Loving yourself . Pressing past anger and unforgiveness Plus much more
APPROVAL ADDICTION addresses a much needed issue in today’s world. You meet insecure people everywhere you go, and the way they relate to you—or you react to them—can make or break a relationship. I have met people I’ve been terrified of simply because of who they are—like school teachers, editors, or others in positions of control. By reading this book, I hope that I will be able to face these people as my equals and not as someone to be scared of.
My husband, a pastor, has asked to read this book when I finish, because he feels that it will be essential reading for him as he counsels others who may feel insecure. I recommend APPROVAL ADDICTION to anyone who feels even a little insecure (as I do), to those who can’t function without constant affirmation, as well as counselors who try to help people. $22.95 (hard cover). 240 pages.
