Publisher's summary

In The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Nathaniel Branden presents the culminating achievement of a lifetime of clinical practice and research. In this penetrating and provocative program, he conclusively demonstrates the importance of self-esteem in our quest for psychological health, personal achievement, and positive relationships.

"Yet how do we gain true self-esteem?" Dr. Branden introduces the six pillars of self-esteem - six action-based practices for daily living. Here for the first time are simple but powerful exercises for increasing personal awareness and effectiveness. Exploring the importance of self-esteem in the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and society, Dr. Branden provides guidelines for those responsible for fostering self-esteem in others - and shows why a culture of self-esteem is imperative for survival in the 21st century.

Read it.

Narration was slightly dull but practical knowledge and advice 5/5. Straight to the point - it didn't add 3 useless hours telling irrelevant stories like most books of the sort.

I wish I had read this book much earlier in life

This book should be required reading for any person claiming to be (or actually being) bullied or socially victimized in their life. Committing to the stem-sentence program explained in the book is one of the few self-development practices suggested by authors that will absolutely positively affect a person's self-esteem without repercussions.

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.
