Makes you feel more positive about yourself just reading it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Self-esteem: A Practical Guide to Growing in Confidence (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book because it is written from the perspective of someone who has suffered, and sometimes continues to suffer, from low self-esteem. This book struck so many cords with me, and that in itself is helpful because it makes you realise that you are not the only one who feels the way you do.It is also helpful because you realise that the author has genuinely suffered from low self-esteem, but has come through and has managed to write a book and get it published. I haven't worked through all the suggested exercises yet and therefore am unable to say whether they help in building higher self-esteem. (The exercises themselves do not seem too onerous.) However for the reasons I mentioned earlier I felt much more positive after just reading this book through. It is written in a very clear, straightforward style and it is nice to read something written by an 'ordinary' person. Ms Atkinson works in teacher-training and I think that this book would be a good thing for teachers to read. This is because it may give them an insight into the positive or negative affect they could be having on their pupils self-esteem, both now and for the future.

A life changing read!,

This review is from: Building Self-esteem: A Practical Guide to Growing in Confidence (Hardcover)
Ok, so first, I must stress that this book is not a cheap self help therapy or anything like that.
I suffered for at least 15 years of low self-esteem and had no self-confidence at all. As a child I was abused, and grew up fatherless. Throughout and school I was bullied all the time. To put it bluntly, my adult life started in a mess... The author shares some very detailed personal testimony as you read through. The book challenged me immensely to do things I wouldn't normally do, stepping out of the comfort zone or coming out from behind my wall as the book mentions was not easy, it was uncomfortable, but with the support of friends and a community, it is easier... and the immediate results were a feeling I never felt before in my life. Positive thoughts, words etc... And it felt good! Ok, so the whole process isn't immediate, but over time and by stepping out more, I felt less attached to my being my brick wall... This book for me was a life changing read... I now own and run a successful Company and have just employed staff as well... this was a dream I had in college, a dream I could never have made a reality without positive self esteem and self-confidence. I encourage anyone suffering with negative thoughts of themselves; self-hatred etc to read this book... it may lead to a life changing experience!
