From the Author
Keeping a journal is one of the most therapeutic tools I know for improving Self-Esteem. I've discovered that men and women who have kept a 'Self-Esteem Journal' as part of their counselling have changed their lives quicker and more deeply than those who have sought counselling on its own. I've worked with over 300 people who have found the techniques in this book helpful!
From the Inside Flap
This book is for anyone who feels their self-esteem is not as high as it could be. All you need is a pen and some paper.
At the end of the book, there are lots of quick journal tools for those people who are short of time. These tools will help you get more out of each day as you develop ways to reflect and evaluate your life more thoroughly - and start putting changes into effect which can really make a difference to how you feel about yourself.
Buying this book could be the first step towards taking greater care of yourself now and for the future!
