Life is a series of contracts the ego makes with itself; reality is the shadow these contracts put upon our souls. Just as a businessman makes a contract with other businessmen, so too does your ego make contracts. These contracts begin when you are a child, and you unknowingly enter into them with your parents, friends, teachers, employers, and the mass media. These contracts will make you poor, sad, and unhealthy if they are kept. Our ego tells us how much time and effort to spend in getting others to approve of us. Everyone goes through a domestication period-a time where others tell us what we should eat, act like, want, and not want. This domestication period ends when we decide that it has ended.

First, I want to say that I am not a professional reviewer; I read often and rate accordingly. However, when I read something extraordinary - or something that provided me value - I will take the time to write a review. I have to say out of the many books I have read, this is refreshingly different. While at first, it was not what I expected by the title, it turned out to be more than I bargained for. I'll be honest and say I received a deal; however, I would have paid the price for this as a hardbound book had it been one.The message is clear. If you want to be happy, reevaluate your beliefs, where they came from, and stop worrying what other people think about you. Others opinions and judgements are based on their own beliefs, so don't worry about it. The concept is sound and true; and I am grateful for the reminder.
Definitely one of those at the top of my best reads list.

It None of My Business What You Think of Me! edition by Peter Baksa SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
This was an easy read and one I enjoyed reading on my vacation. The author keeps the subject light, for the most part-there is a dig about fox news that I thought was inappropriate for the subject and book (I love fox news), however, he gives a good analysis of how he progressed in moving from working college student to real estate developer and author by focusing in on ways to discipline/change his behaviors and thinking for positive results.
For those who are too concerned what others think of them, this book gets a little sidetracked, but the message is still clear-we can't control what others think and by the way most of them aren't thinking about us anyway
Another of favorite always going back to read my highlighted pages.
I'd always been someone who had cared deeply what other people thought of me. After having read this book, I now look at criticism and judgement from others as their experience, not mine. It's really helping me along my path to Enlightenment! Really well written, highly recommended.
Gave me a whole knew perspective and a key phrase I use every day ) Whenever I find myself worrying about what others may think of me I simply say to myself "It's none of my business what you think of me". And smile.
As another reviewer said, a superficial undertone left a bad taste in my mouth - and I am of the opinion that we all need to be a bit selfish. I'm not some holy roller who is easily offended by self-centered advice, but this guy seems to focus mainly on the materialistic aspects of life, in a tone-deaf way. (It's tough to explain.) As such, his advice falls flat because it seems like he still has a lot of self-reflection to do. Basically, I felt like I was reading a self-help book written by the neighborhood social climber (who doesn't realize he or she is the neighborhood social climber).
"What other people think of me is none of my business" has been a favorite phrase of mine for quite a number of years. I used to share it with my clients who had self esteem issues and was often met with either a "deer in the headlights look" or outright disagreement. So when I saw this title, I knew I had to read the book. I was hoping for something meaningful and of substance and I was not disappointed.
Baksa writes with an easy-to-read style, often using personal anecdotes to make the point. I especially appreciate the wisdom of his "Gramma" that gave the book its structure and is interspersed throughout the book.
He urges the reader to look at the agreements (contracts) their egos have made over their lifetime. These agreements or contracts are unconscious but nevertheless, influence every decision we make and, if allowed to continue, can disrupt our lives. We also need to discover the invisible labels we wear that determine our direction, our decisions, our self image and more. Some of these labels may be "I'm too fat (or too thin, too old or too young, too...anything), I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough. You get the idea. These contracts and labels originate over time from what Baksa terms "domestication." They are basically agreements and beliefs that we assumed from years of following parental and other "adult" input about "right actions and right beliefs." You know, the "we always do it this way" kind of stuff.
Baksa urges us to make our own decisions, define our own beliefs, and march to our own drummer. In other words, nullify the contracts and rip off the labels. Because we are "uniquely unique,' (my words, not his)we are exactly the way we should be and, if someone else doesn't like it, it's their business and their problem, not ours. Getting there takes work, self discovery and determination as well as courage.
The book addresses such issues as sin, careers, relationships, the power of words, marriage and responsibility. It encourages you to examine what your were taught, your own conclusions about what you were taught, and what you are still acting on in terms of contracts and labels that are still influencing your behavior.
This is a book to be read, certainly. But more, it is a book to sit with, ponder, and use as a guide for self discovery and personal growth.
Who should read this book? Anyone who has ever been bothered by what they believe someone else thinks of them and by those who judge and critique others. That just about covers us all wouldn't you say? Read it, and let me know what you think.
And pay attention to what his Gramma says. She's a wise woman who teaches that what other people think about you doesn't matter. It's what you think of you that counts.
I read this book cover to cover in one setting..I came out with my own sort of motto-
your opinion of me doesn't change who I am... and love thyself or better yet self confidence in your own abilities. As long as your thoughts and plans and actions are pure, stem from love and kindness, it will all turn out in the end. You have to be at peace with yourself and the decisons you make in life.
Over all I liked the book and it just helped to confirm the mind journey I was already on. I gave it 4 stars because it was a little hard to follow in some spots and I think it could have used more of a psychologist stamp if approval. Not that a self confident person needs approval..lol
