This is so much more than a book, it is a hands on guide to help women reclaim their power and to have everything they want in life.  In this guide, author Sharon Capehart will ask you to do much more than just read this book; she will ask you to take a long hard look at your own life and to begin creating the life that you have always wanted. 

She begins the book by asking you to fill in the statement “my life is exactly the way I want it because….” And “My life doesn’t’ look this way now because…..”  And that is just the beginning.   The only limitation that I found is that the book is too short.  The limited number of pages show good examples and discuss strategy, but the author could have easily expanded on her theories and hopefully will bring us more of her good wisdom in the future. 

To get her points across about women’s loss of power, Capehart tells us the personal stories of four women – Scarlett, Anny, Jade and Mel.  The problems that these women encountered and how they were able to change their lives illustrate so well what so many of us are going through.  It begins with what we learn in childhood and how it affects crucial decisions in our lives. 

This is really a great book for women who feel they are not getting what they want out of life.  Most women do not even realize what is causing the problems in their lives, and the author not only helps with understanding this but also in how to fix it.  She includes a plan of action towards the end of the book that everyone should be able to incorporate.  I especially like the fact that she addresses what happens if that plan gets delayed or derailed. 

I think that “The Power 2 Be You!” by Sharon Capehart is very well written and I hope to see more from her in the future.
