Critic reviews

"The father of the concept of self-esteem has written his masterpiece." (Warren Bennis)
"The ultimate work on self-esteem. Truly a classic." (T. George Harris, former editor of American Health and Psychology Today)

Informative and Insightful

I found this book very inspirational with many nuggets of useful information and exercises. t is very much like a lecture and the presenter is monotone, but none of that affects the value of the content. Sample before committing but it is well worth the investment. Highly recommend to those interested in the subject matter.

Life manual covering self esteem at different level (individual, organizations & cultures )

Glad that I found this book, Great self-help book with deep insights.

It can be prescribed to cure depression:)
This book is for everyone Adults, parents , teachers & leaders.

A must read for all, regardless of generation.

Millennial and baby boomers alike can benefit from these pillars. We're all affected by poor self esteem, each generation passing theirs on to the next. Break the cycle, rise above, and spread the word.

Good book, hope it's effectice

great book and for me, the beginning was like reading my life. I'm happy it gives a solid plan to work on my self esteem

Just finished it

Charisma on command sent me here... Enjoyed that last chapter most, the last sentence specifically

Easy to process and consume

I've been struggling, probably not more than an average person but it really does shine a great deal of light on how to be more honest, and reevaluate your relationships and how these relationships can impact your own self worth

Brilliant!

A brilliant presentation of the authors profound insights into the fabric of our existence in this society it will take for us to succeed be content with ourselves. This contentment, is the seed for which our hopes and dreams may flourish... The reader could use a few more positives giving us free moments to reflect and to soak in the profound realizations that we hope to incorporate in our lives.. other than the tempo, however, it was clear and well read and his voice presented a sense of integrity that is easily absorbed. The author obviously leaves out the psycho physiological influences and genetic influences that affect our tendencies and the ease by which we can offer change to our behaviors. This, however, should be presented in another book.

decent

dude could have made it interesting. lots of good information, but i want to hear the passion the the reader, it would have really sold the fact ge believed what he was saying. pretty monotone....

Bad delivery

This books has some very useful information but the delivery needs alot of work. If you can get pass that it's pretty decent

I recommend

Would recommend to anyone seeking to understand and improve upon their self-esteem. Professory narrator, good for some, bad for some.
