Affirmation is the sincere expression of appreciation for a person’s remarkable qualities. We all have special gifts. Sadly, many blessings are overlooked and thus remain hidden. Through affirmation, we help people find their strengths and become all they were meant to be. The Art of Affirmation explains the importance of affirmation and how we are affected when we are deprived of it. Most importantly, this book teaches how to affirm. It leads the reader from basic concepts to advanced skills in the art of affirmation. Affirmation may be the most important gift we can ever give someone. Dr. Furey’s encouraging, appealing message will resonate with readers, both as givers of this special gift, and, more significantly, receivers. †
