While written for a young female audience, this book will appeal to readers of all ages and genders.  I Would, but My Damn Mind Won't Let Me! is recommended for home, school and public libraries and for use in clinical settings."

5-Star Reviews:

• Jacqui Letran's self-help guide for young adults is an engrossing and highly accessible guide for anyone who'd like to understand why they react to stress and stressors the way they do. I was impressed by the way the author introduces the complex and complicated processes that go on in the human mind and especially appreciated how she's adapted her findings and techniques to work with young women. Her case studies were fascinating and clearly demonstrated how depression and other mental health issues can sometimes be resolved without the use of medicines and traditional therapeutic methods. This is a well-written and informative work that is neither condescending nor patronizing of its target audience, and it is highly recommended.  Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite

• The book connects well with teenagers as it is about their stress and anxiety, and is a useful tool in transforming their thinking power in both the conscious and subconscious mind.  
  
  This is an excellent read. It helps teenagers make positive changes within themselves and also find some direction in their lives in a good way. This book will help them to identify and fix the problems they face. Reading this book will definitely help teenagers have some control over their thoughts and lives, and will help them change their beliefs, which in turn will help them change their thought processes.
  
  All teenagers should read this book as it is helpful in guiding them to eliminate the baggage they are carrying inside.  I recommend this book to all teenagers who are experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and want to improve themselves. The book is not only for teenagers, but is also helpful for adults as well. Reviewed By Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite

• This book is something that everyone should read. Not just teenagers, but all women. While it is geared towards teens and it certainly gets the right message across for teen girls, I think adult women who have not had this kind of self help before could benefit as well. It is well written and you can certainly tell that Jacqui Letran knows what she is talking about and really wants to help young women feel better about themselves. I recommend women and girls alike read this book and learn how to make their life better.  Reviewed By Kathryn Bennett for Readers' Favorite
