Self-esteem: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving and Maintaining Your Self-esteem

Description

Research shows that self-esteem is affected as much by what we do as it is by what we think. The third edition of this guide to building and maintaining self-esteem therefore has a new chapter covering the importance of goal setting, how to set realistic goals and achieve them in manageable steps. The original self-help book for building healthy self-esteem just got better with a catchy new package that connects it to The Self-Esteem Companion and the forthcoming Self-Esteem Guided Journal.
