10 Simple Solutions for Building Self-Esteem: How to End Self-Doubt, Gain Confidence, & Create a Positive Self-Image (The New Harbinger Ten Simple Solutions Series)

I really like this book. It has taught me that as we grow up and live in a harsh society where everything you do, say, or even think, is a description of how much worth you have as an individual. What a truly sad world we live in to have such thoughts! We were taught as children that if we didn't became doctors, lawyers, or rich and famous, that we were worthless and don't deserve to be happy in life. This book has taught me that my own worth, deep inside of me as a human being, is COMPLETELY cut off from all the actions that I do on a daily basis; That all the mistakes and regrets I have, in the end, doesn't say anything about my worth. I realize that I have a lot of worth, that I am a wonderful human being, and that we should learn to cut ourselves some slack and learn to love ourselves above all. We are all imperfect humans, and there is beauty in it that it can never be found in so called "perfection". I learn to love my body thanks to this book; How miraculous and beautiful it is, always working and moving. I learn to give kindness to others, and that being kind to others mean you are being kind to yourself and humanity. Yes, I do struggle sometimes with my self-esteem and confidence sometimes still, but it's a whole lot better now that I've read this book. Give this a book a shot; You might be surprised what this little book can teach you!

I have been stuggling with self esteem issues for over 40 years. I grew up in a alchoholic, broken home where my opinion mattered none, and life was always surrounded by turmoil. If no trouble was around, it was drudged up. I had little role modeling of healthy give and take relationships. I was told I was always wrong or the cause of the families trouble. Because of this, I always felt like I didn't belong with others, especially those who had 2 parent homes and that I was less of a person than everyone else. No amount of self help books cut to what was lacking in my core...the feeling of unconditional worth, value and equality to others. While reading this book, I felt like I was drinking cold water after a life long trek in the desert. The effect was immediate and soothing. The author presents his work in a easy to understand, compassionate and well researched way. I now feel like I have a place to start the rest of my life's journey. The book was so good that I bought the workbook by the same author, it is excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone with self esteem/confidence issues. It would even be good for parents or teachers who want a way to be able to teach such concepts to their children/students.

Its a good book! One of the other reviewer's for this book said it 'read like a term paper'. While I understand weher they are coming from I dont see it as a negative thing. Its practical, simple and concise, which are all good things because you dont want to get bogged down in to much pyscology when you are mending your self-esteem!! :)I thought some of the examples of when life goes wrong could be a bit more realistic, eg the old lady that pulled a gun on boys stealing her van and once they'd ran away she realised it wasnt her van, she'd parked somewhere else. She went to the police to confess only to find the boys there to report her, once she explained what happened they all had a good laugh and made up. While I agree everone makes mistakes, life doesnt usually work out this simply when you mess up.Its worth a read and does help you approach situations with a better perspective.

Twenty word minimum........... Thanks for the matrix........."10 Simple Solutions for building Self-Esteem". This book is very well crafted. My response is egocentric, to be sure. I am aged and discovering "new things" in life daily. This book is a wonderful guide for anyone in the later years. As well, those in younger years and in conflict can find the subtle directions to make life better and more easy going. In reflection, I stumbled as a youth. In my later years, I look forward to the special and subtle opportunities of my life. My path is no more structured. As well, I can reflect on "how I got here"...........

This book had a lot to offer. Just simple reminders of how to feel better about yourself, when things don't necessarily feel so good.When you are a salesperson and you are in a rut, sometimes you need a book like this. It shows you that guess what?, you probably are working a lot harder than you thought you were. In fact probably harder than most of your peers. You just don't give yourself enough credit.

I'm only a few chapters in and I gotta say its already making me feel better about myself and it really makes you think. There were a few big words I hadn't heard before but otherwise it is easy to understand so far. Is it odd that I'm excited to keep reading? :)
