Recommendation
Each individual manifests self-esteem, or the lack of it, differently. Generally, people with strong self-esteem had parents who nurtured them constantly during their early childhood, while those with low self-esteem often did not. Can people with low self-esteem build it as adults? Yes, because self-esteem is how you feel about yourself, and your thoughts control your feelings. If you take command of your thoughts, you can take command of your feelings, including your sense of self. In this fine book on self-esteem, Matthew McKay and Patrick Fanning show you how to banish regressive “stinking thinking” and the nasty inner critic that inevitably tries to flatten your self-esteem. You can use their instructive “cognitive techniques” to elevate your self-esteem, develop self-assurance and feel better about yourself. getAbstract finds McKay and Fanning’s book warm and practical. If their self-esteem is high, there’s a good reason.
