This is a great book that keeps you involved by doing ’excercises’’. There are a lot of personal experiences throughout to relate to, rather than only just facts. It’s an easy read to understand compared to much of the mumbo jumbo out there and can be reread over and over continually pulling more info from it.

I bought this book because Dr. Phil promoted it, and was greatly disappointed. It contains a lot of good solutions for problematic situations but doesn't go into the causes of these problems. The author suggests blaming our "Anti-Self", as if there's some enemy residing within each one of us, and not disowned parts that need to be brought to light and integrated into our personalities. He uses a lot of 12-Step "wisdom" that is very damaging to people who've been seeking solace in substances because of traumatic life experiences, shaming and blaming them for their "character defects". I speak from personal experience. AA success rate is between 5 and 10%, which is a failure, not success, and their teachings hadn't changed in 84 years despite of all the progress in medical science, so it's surprising to me that Dr. Phil promotes coaching style that is based on splitting and discarding parts of ourselves. I'm sure that Mike Bayer helps a lot of people, but I'm also sure this help is temporary, and they'll be back for more, which makes for profitable business. Read full review

Best Self is full of helpful advice on how to deal with everyday life and accomplish goals. The way it is written makes it hard to stop reading. Happy I made the purchase.

Do not listen to the reviews saying it is like every other self help book as I have read several! This book actually makes it seem as if Mike is your personal coach and is a guide and workbook into bringing you to your best self and acknowledging how we can all be our best selves! A definite buy! Highly recommend!!!

This book is amazing. Have to do “the work” and that’s the hard part BUT it’s so worth it!! I don’t understand the comments about “it’s just another book”. I think it’s SO much more than that. I highly recommend it.
