Healing Humanity Life Without Shame Oct 01, 2009
By D. Agner
Healing Humanity Life Without Shame tackles the issue of shame, and how it is taken in and passed on. I was struck with how pervasive shame is in our lives. We learn shame as children, and pass it on without even knowing we have it. Anne shares in a frank and honest manner, sharing stories from her own life, and lives of others. I highly recommend this book!

Healing Humanity: Life Without Shame Dec 03, 2009
By Ivy Margulies, Psy.D.
This book is an essential resource and education about shame. I am a clinical psychologist and the book has elucidated, for me, what shame is and what it is not. Shame is not taught in graduate school yet it is as fundamental to understand as anxiety and depression. Shame is pervasive, insidious, and prevalent in our family histories, our relationships, our culture and in advertising. We may shame everyday, or be shamed everyday, and not realize it!! It is truly remarkable how denial operates in conjunction with shame. Shame impacts everyone, whether addressing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma history, or deprivation of attachment during early childhood. Dr. Stirling wrote the book in a semi-memoir style, which helps the reader to understand and grasp an often complicated behavior and emotion. I recommend this book for both the public at large and the professionals working in the mental health field.

Healing Humanity: Life Without Shame Dec 03, 2009
By K. Savage
This book cuts to the core of why we still suffer from the past and how this shows up in the present. Anne is a true pioneer in her understanding of shame as a core issue to truly heal and begin to live without shame. By reading this book I was able to see how shame impacted my life, how it influences me currently and I was able to discharge a lot of garbage (shame) that I should not be carrying. It is a must read and I intend to share it with all who are close to me!
The author rates it five stars! Feb 14, 2010

"Anne Stirling Hastings"
I've been hearing about how some people read this book, and then re-read it, feeling as if they have uncovered essential information about themselves and the world we live in. Then there are those who can't read it! Even a good friend said she just couldn't get into it. Isn't that odd, to get such opposite reactions? When I give talks on shame, and role play non-shaming interactions, audiences react more positively than to any other subject I have spoken on. My colleague who wrote the forward believes its because some people who become aware of the shame they carry begin to feel it. The ones who love the book get to discharge some of it, and know that its possible to heal it. I relieved a large amount of shame by writing the book, and all of the conversations I had while writing. I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of others.
