My Review

I was excited to read Yes-You Matter, You Are Enough by Karin J. Lund. Although written for teens, it's also very pertinent for adults. The messages in this book are so powerful. The format is quite unique, featuring a low word count on each page that shares a short, meaningful message that hits a punch. This type of format will appeal to teens who already have a lot of reading due to homework. I also liked how you can pick up the book, read a few pages, and get back to it later.

Some of my favorite quotes are as follows...

-Everything that happens to you contains a message and a lesson if you learn to listen.

-Remember to tell yourself, "I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me." This means saying "NO" too.

-Surround yourself with people who are positive, who make you feel good about yourself, and who support you and care about you.

-Treasure the people who choose to stand beside you through all the ups and downs in life.

-The Universe is prepared to teach you and help you recognize something or someone that you need to meet and know.

It was hard to narrow my favorite quotes to only five, as I loved what was written in the book. It's positive, uplifting, and filled with messages to help you learn to love yourself and seek positive things and people around you. I highly recommend this book to all teens, as it offers excellent conversation starters between parents and children.

Author Bio

Karin J. Lund, Founder of G-Power Global Enterprises, works with corporations, universities, and non-profit groups, that want to embrace a compassionate, culture empowered, workplace environment. A culture that employees, and management, actively support, because the culture acknowledges personal and professional values, understands the importance of an inclusive work environment, and includes a corporate dedication to improving the local, and/or global community.
Karin was only the 3rd woman to be hired in Central Operation Sales for J & L Steel, in Pittsburgh, Pa. She later accepted a position with a Canadian steel company who was expanding operations into the United States. As a regional sales manager with an international territory, Karin managed a $140M sales territory, and saw firsthand how various steel mills, and manufacturer’s work culture and environments, impacted morale, productivity, and profits.
As an author, speaker, and facilitator, Karin was a civilian responder directly after 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. Working with the children and families from Bay St. Louis, MS after Katrina showed her the expansiveness of loss, life events, and the resilience of this special community. Karin is an adult facilitator for Caring Place, where families can receive help after the loss of a spouse, parent, child, or extended family member.
Through these experiences she has witnessed how life events impact employees, and what employees need from management to help them adjust and move through these life events. Productivity and morale need not suffer if embraced appropriately.
Her online program, “Your Journey through the Islands of Grief and Loss,” encourages individuals and employees to confront issues related to their personal journeys around different aspects of life events and loss. Corporate comfort gifts, journals, and other products support this effort.
