The Self-Esteem Workbook

If your self-esteem is based solely on your achievements—if you only consider yourself worthy when you do a good job or are recognized for your good work—then how you feel will always depend on external factors. And your self-esteem affects everything you do. So if you feel unworthy of respect and unconditional acceptance, or if your confidence is shaped by others, it can be a huge problem.

With this second edition of Glenn R. Schiraldi’s Self-Esteem Workbook, you will learn to look at yourself with loving eyes and realize that you are worthy of the best without any conditions and that self-criticism based on comparison is not the true measure of your worth. In addition to new chapters on developing compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love for yourself and others (all of which boost self-esteem), this book provides the latest in brain plasticity and how sleep, exercise, and nutrition affect self-esteem.

Developing and maintaining a healthy self-esteem is key to a happy life, and with the new research and exercises in this updated, bestselling workbook, you can learn to feel good and finally become the person you can and want to be.
