Product Description
A host of dysfunctional and self-destructive patterns arise at minor and acute levels if an individual dislikes him- or herself. Despite the importance of self-esteem, surprisingly little attention has been focused on building it directly, until now. Designed in an easy-to-use format, The Self-Esteem Workbook presents a course in self-esteem based on new research and sound principles. Checklists, fill-ins, and exercises show readers how thoughts, emotions, physical health, and behavior impact their self-esteem. Periodic checkups help them gauge their progress, and final sections offer strategies for preventing relapse.

I highly recommend this. I am someone who knew I needed a little help with my self-confidence/esteem, but it wasn't something that was debilitating. I just knew I wasn't reaching my potential, and it was because I seemed to be sabotaging myself and holding myself back. I can't afford therapy, so I thought I would get a book to work through and see if that helped. All people considering buying this book should use the "look inside" feature to see if it clicks with them. It clicked instantly with me. The section on Automatic Thoughts (ATs) that starts on page 40 is more than worth its weight in gold. Reading that, I couldn't help but be struck by how silly such thoughts are, yet how pervasive. I have used the activities in the beginning section of the book for the past 10 months at pretty irregular intervals, but even so, it is amazing how different my outlook is already. I had scribbled a bunch of notes in the book back when I first read it, and looking at at those now is like night and day. I am usually skeptical of people who make such bold claims (diets that promise to lose 10 pounds a week, get rich quick schemes, etc). But using this workbook a little per week, or irregularly as I did, and paying conscious attention to thought patterns and recognizing where they stray into the unhealthy, has made a difference. Thanks!

As a therapist, I have given this workbook to some of my clients so that we can work through their self-esteem issues. So far, all of my clients have had high praise for the workbook. They like being able to write things down rather than just reading/listening about an issue.

This book has made me stronger. It has made me realize I AM a worthwhile person! The excercises in the book are great, it has helped me so much. If you have low self esteem, anxiety or just need to feel better about yourself, this book is worth the money.

A great book both for myself and for my clients. Consistent with Cognitive-Behavioral principles and faith-friendly without being overtly religious. I have used to guide treatment and to provide homework for clients with great success.
