There's a child in all of us, and just because one
can buy their own beer, doesn't mean it disappears. "Reconnected: How to Be a Mentor to Your Child-Self" is
an inspirational and psychological advisory guide from Nazim Rashid who advises readers how to embrace and entertain their
inner child, solve those nagging issues that one may be left over from childhood. With a touch of other psychological issues,
"Reconnected" is a read that should very much be considered for general psychology and self-help collections.

Sadly, psychological
knowledge has a tendency to go in and out of fashion. In the mid 1980’s to the mid 1990’s the subject of adult
children of alcoholics, dysfunctional families, and the wounded inner child was in the forefront of the news and the field
of psychology. Oprah championed the issue, but also made it so popular that the inevitable backlash soon developed. It is
rarely talked about in the field these days and is not well known by young counselors. Nazim Rashid is reintroducing this
essential topic with his new book Reconnected: How To Be a Mentor To Your Own Child-Self. I can think of no more important
issue than appropriate and caring parenting and it is impossible to be a healthy parent until a person has truly grieved their
own often painful childhood, dared to discard dysfunctional family rules and beliefs, and re-parent their own child. It is
the only effective way to change an immature, violent, and addictive society into an actualized and humane world. Healthy
parenting should never go out of style and this tender and compassionate book from Nazim Rashid will help to achieve that.
His writing is clear and concise and is appropriate for psychologists and the general public.
I am honored to recommend this book. -Jef Gazley, LMFT, LISAC
Throughout
the last thirty years of my professional and academic life I have been blessed with many conversations related to the conceptualization
and theoretical viewpoints presented in Nazim Rashid’s work on staying Reconnected with the virtual ideal self . However,
there are three areas of emphasis that place this work in its own subcategory within the category of "personal development"
and they revolve around being empowered to teach one's self 1) realistic and practical techniques, 2) accountability,
3) self-maintenance and monitoring, 4) self-evaluation, and 5) flexibility to re-plan. -Professor Danita Applewhite,

FABULOUS SELF HELP ADDITION TO YOUR LIBRARY
Nazim's book is a multipurpose manual; a
Parent's Manual, a Teacher's Manual, a Mentor's Manual, a Relationship Manual, a Recovery Manual and a Human Manual,
for the transformation of your negative experiences to positive memories, helping to love yourself at deep levels and creating
the life you have always desired. One of my favorite quotes from the book is: "Know what you want. Believe you are worth
receiving it. Know that you deserve it. See yourself enjoying it. Feel the feelings of having it. Give thanks for receiving
it, and then know that it is yours." --Author of Fifo 50 States, Haley Rose
THOUGHT PROVOKING AND
PRACTICAL
Once I read the firsts chapter, I was hooked. I was immediately forced to look at some things that
I had pushed aside or ignored. This was done in a non-threatening and interesting way. I immediately realized a further examination
of my childhood was needed, and felt that the exercises suggested were very practical. This book is a must read --JRP
EXCELLENT BOOK ON SELF
This is an inspiring book, about how we can connect with our past, our
personal growth, self-esteem, and how we can overcome our inner voices that stops us from self-realization of achieving our
potentials. Well written, organized, and easy to follow. One of the best books I've read in this area. ---SSK
