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

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

by Matthew McKay (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews

McKay and Fanning recognize the complexity of the human tendency toward self- criticism. Their carefully written, cognitively oriented self-help book wisely avoids simplistic solutions, offering instead a systematic approach to self-eseem development.
Robert E. Alberti, Ph.D., author of Your Perfect Right


Positive self-esteem is the centerpiece of a healthy personality. McKay and Fanning's new book offers us a valuable storehouse of tactics and strategies for constructing (or renovating) the foundation of our self-esteem.
Philip G. Zimbardo, Ph.D., author of Shyness


Self-Esteem is truly a very special title. Good writing is especially necessary for self-help titles.... I feel a special enthusiasm in bringing it to the notice of our audience.
