"Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem", says pioneering psychologist Nathaniel Branden, "and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence - and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life."

Beg & end feels like a sales pitch. Rest is good.

The book is read like they are trying to sell you something else. Middle chapters like 3 through most of 13 is the best and feels more like a real book. but definitely has enough good parts that I want to go back through this book again. so good definitely outweighs the bad.

AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥

I was listening to The book Codependent no more by Melody Beattie who I adore beyond words for all the help she's given me through the years, she mentioned this book and endorsed it highly, I bought it and have found tremendous insight and inspiration into so many different aspects of life, I've been a self taught person my whole life, I very much appreciate this book and especially enjoyed it and will be going through it many more times in the future, only a few books have attained this status in my Audible library and I definitely have added this one to the list of must to go through again and again as the teachings are superb beyond words description 🔥🔥🔥

The simplicity yet rich content

The music in the background was a little distracting while trying to focus on the narration

Branden’s book is excellent; added content is distracting

This is a very worthwhile audiobook for understanding how to improve your self-esteem. Nathaniel Branden has a deep knowledge of many aspects of this topic. Many times you will hear something he says and have to stop and reflect how it is shown in your life. He also has practical ideas such as sentence completion questions that you can use on your own to help yourself. Nightingale Conant has added some background content to this production. Part of it is music, which can be useful to break up the constant flow of information and ideas. They also use additional narrators which help in some ways. However, they also attempt to provide some “context” at the beginning as well as offering their own “service” online at the end. These aspects of the audiobook are superfluous. (I later found that the “service” they were offering was unavailable.) Overall this is an excellent audiobook and I would recommend it. I will probably go out and buy the hard copy of the book as well.

Amazing!

This is a book. I will listen to over and over and over again. So many times throughout listening I would screenshot the spot so I could go back to it and re-listen to it and make notes on it. I ended up buying the hard copy of the book because there’s just so much!
