I absolutely loved this book - another in the excellent 'for dummies' series.
I read 'Cognitive Behavourial Therapy for Dummies' last year (by the same authors), and this is every bit as good.

Lots of useful tips and exercises to improve that all-important self-esteem, and maintaining it at a healthy level. If your self-esteem is flagging a bit (as it can for all of us sometimes), this book can really plug you back in and steer you onto a more positive, helpful and happier path. I experienced positive benefits almost immediately after I'd picked this book up, which says a great deal!

I've learnt now not to be so tough on myself, give myself some recognition for my achievements and uniqueness, and how good it feels if I can benefit others too.

I don't know how good an expert would rate this book but as a layman it seems ideal. I got it for my niece who had been given some pamphlets on improving her self-esteem by an NHS specialist. She finds the pamphlets unreadable but this book should be ideal. It says what to read if you just want to read little bits; it even tells you what the index is for. On the other hand I started reading it from cover to cover and found it very well laid out - so well that I will finish reading it when my niece finds her inner strength.
