Product Description
Of all the judgments you make in life, none is as important as the one you make about yourself. The difference between low self-esteem and high self-esteem is the difference between passivity and action, between failure and success. Now, one of America's foremost psychologists and a pioneer in self-esteem development offers a step-by-step guide to strengthening your sense of self-worth. Here are simple, straightforward and effective techniques that will dramatically improve the way you think and feel about yourself. You'll learn:
How to break free of negative self-concepts and self-defeating behavior.
How to dissolve internal barriers to success in work and love.
How to overcome anxiety, depression, guilt and anger.
How to conquer the fear of intimacy and success.
How to find -- and keep -- the courage to love yourself.
And much more. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading just 4 chapters of this book, i have come to look at myself differently as a person. Not only is this an interesting read psycologically but the exercises employed by nathanial are clever devices for changing and "accepting" the way you think. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for ways to change their negative thought patterns.

A short, clear, useful, and practical guide to raising your self-esteem. I don't think it's possible to read this without feeling better about yourself. Some of the most sensible advice I've read in years. Everyone should read this book. It's superb value, too.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book with a limited understanding of self-esteem, but enough to know I was lacking in it...Now I realise just how limited my understanding of myself was...I've never looked back. This book teaches you to accept yourself, your past and all your strengths and weaknesses with a view to becoming more self-confident, assertive, positive and living with much greater responsibility for your own life and what you do/achieve with it. It takes no time to read and work through, but the benefits to yourself are almost immediate. This book provides the tools and thought processes *all* people should live with.
My advice, buy it. Read it. Digest it. Live it.

It helped me, but it won't work for everyone
I bought this book on the recommendation of my therapist and I think, as with therapy, it's one of those books where the more you buy into it, the more you get out of it. Read more

I did not find this book helpful at all.
The book does not contain "an approach / technique" to raising your self-esteem. It is purely about case studies. Read more

This is more than a "how to" book...
