Format:Paperback
This is one of the best books on self-esteem I've read. I facilitate a depression group and we've been using this book as a guide. It's got excellent exercises to help you on your journey to better self-esteem. There's a great exercise in the book about celebrating your gifts. Each group member wrote their name at the top of a blank sheet of paper and then passed it to the person on the right. Each person wrote 3 things that they liked and admired about the person named at the top of the sheet. A very moving, powerful exercise. One of the guys framed it and hung it in his room. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn that we all have innate capacities for creativity, appreciating beauty and that each of us is of "infinite, unchanging and equal worth". A gem of a workbook.

Increase your psychological self-esteem without seeing a psychologist
15 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Everyone talks about the importance of self-esteem, but how exactly do you go about increasing it? The Self-Esteem Workbook is a sequence of 27 short chapters that address various aspects of self-esteem along with exercises that promote awareness and change. Schiraldi argues that unconditional worth, love, and growing are the three factors that help self-esteem to flourish, and each gets its own section. For example, in the unconditional worth section, readers are asked to rate themselves on certain personality characteristics and then to reflect on which attributes they feel best about. The concept of self-esteem that is used throughout is the psychological construct, not the kind of "self-esteem" where everyone on the team gets prizes.
This book is a tremendous resource for therapists and those who want to increase their self-esteem. I have used various chapters with clients and have encouraged some to just buy the whole book. The chapters are short and don't take that long to get through. The writing is clear and appropriate for people who are not necessarily in the mental health field. The approach is a combination of Rogerian and cognitive-behavioral and would be applicable to a broad client base, although many of the exercises are probably too cognitive for children. Some clients may have difficulty with chapter 14, where readers come up with a list of 10 positive statements about themselves, and so it may be a good idea to discuss this particular exercise in therapy. Overall, a great resource.

ACoA can benefit from this book
2 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
I have dealt with anxiety from time to time in my life. Lately, I decided to go to a therapist who recommended this book. This book has helped me understand that some beliefs from my childhood are distorted such as "boys don't cry,"and it is wrong to get angry, so I am learning how to use techniques in order to replace negative thoughts into more positive ones. I am learning a lot about myself because of this book. More importantly, I am learning to deal with my anxiety effectively. I wished I had applied these techniques in my childhood, but you know the saying, "it is never too late."

A Wonderful Workbook
18 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
A wonderful workbook for someone who is in distress. Dr. Schiraldi has the comforting gift of communicating his ideas as if he is in your presence speaking to you. The many different quotes he uses helped me in my introspection, and helped me to clarify my own thoughts and feelings. Through creative exercises The Self Esteem Workbook helped me to learn how to appreciate myself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
