Overview
Stating that many people suffer from an unhealthy need for affirmation from the outside world, a guide to seeking approval within oneself makes recommendations for finding security, overcoming feelings of rejection, and achieving self-esteem through a relationship with God. Reprint.
Publishers Description
There is an epidemic of insecurity in society today. Many people suffer from an unhealthy need for affirmation. They are not capable of feeling good about themselves. For some the quest for approval becomes an actual addiction, as they seek self-worth from the outside world because they can't find it within themselves. Joyce Meyer understands the need for seeking approval from others to overcome feelings of rejection and low self-esteem. The good news, she says, is that there is a cure. God provides all the security anyone needs. Her goal is to provide a pathway toward freedom from the approval addiction.

 | This book changed and transformed my life. Jun 12, 2011 |
| This is an excellent description of how approval addicts need approval and acceptance just as a drug addict needs drugs. Joyce Meyer deals with every facet of this deep problem to help people who suffer from rejection and the need for approval receive truth about their condition, and find practical solutions of how to receive deep emotional healing and freedom. I have read this book three times, and have gone through it with two separate groups of women, and am going to take another group through it beginning this week. It truly is life changing! | | |  | WARNING: Not what it seems at all! Feb 7, 2010 |
Over 90% of this book is about "your relationship with God" and "seeking God's approval." It is NOT, at all, a helpful book about the true psychological condition of approval addiction and it provides virtually no advice on how to understand and manage this dynamic with actual people in your life.
Shame on the publishers for marketing this book as something it is not! | | | | Religous dogma Jan 13, 2010 |
I was drawn to this book because I do have issues with being liked and accepted. But I couldnt handle all the biblical references and religous dogma splattered on every page. I am a very spiritual and open minded person, but I dont appreciate authors who take a widespread issue such as addiction and then turn out a book that is preaching their particular religous veiwpoint.
I wish I would have scanned through this book before buying, good thing I got it at a discount. | | | | Awesome!! Jun 16, 2009 |
| Great book!! This book is practical in nature, while also very real and upfront. She, I think, captivates you, first by backing her information with GOD's word, then sharing her real life experiences. She gives you empowering words to repeat, as often as necessary, to yourself until it is engrained in your mind and spirit. If you don't get any type of help from this book, you should question "do I really want the help". I thank her for allowing GOD to use her testimony in a powerful way. | | | | -- May 13, 2009 |
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.
| | | | A MUST Read... May 2, 2009 |
| ...for anyone who has ever put themselves in the position of being a doormat in order to try making or keeping everyone ELSE "happy!" I'm thrilled that I've finally discovered why I was always completely frazzled, and even more thrilled that Joyce Meyer's book is helping to teach me how to battle my "Approval Addiction!" OUTSTANDING book!!! | | | Write your own review about Approval Addiction
