Dr. Barbara Holstein

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is the originator of The Enchanted Self. She has been a positive psychologist in private practice and licensed in the states of New Jersey and Massachusetts since 1981.
See all of Dr. Barbara's Books here.
The magic of the human spirit, with its capacity for survival, growth
and joy, has always intrigued Dr. Barbara. As years went by and her practice
grew, she longed to explore adult development even further--specifically
how to overcome adversity and bring pleasure into one’s life while living
a life worth living. A life that is a good life, filled with happiness,
meaning and purpose has become the focus of Dr. Holstein's books, articles,
seminars, radio shows, television shows, newsletters, etc. Her methods
of improving ourselves so we have more positive emotions and thoughts
are easy to understand and move us toward mental wellness and a deeper
appreciation of ourselves and our potential.
Dr. Barbara speaks regularly on radio programs around the country, and appears on television in New York and New Jersey. Her inspiring audio shows and podcasts links can be found here. Her articles and stories appear on the web on hundreds of sites. She also gives lectures, seminars, and tele-classes on happiness.

Daily Blessings
Start your day with a blessing!
What makes some people so interesting? It’s their childlike vitality, sense of wonder, and their playfulness. It’s the way they inhale life. Anonymous
As the leaves begin to fall may your spirits lift,
As the weather cools may your true passions thrive,
As winter comes closer may you know true warmth,
As the sun hides, may your inner clouds dissolve,
And may you always remember that behind
all Is a song just waiting to be sung!
~ Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein
