It is necessary for us to get rid of our toxic self-defeating messages, and choose positive changes. Learning to Love Yourself is a journey to self-worth -- Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse shows you new perspectives and guides you to higher self-worth so that finally you can love yourself.

و به راستی خودمان به دیگر اجازه توهین به خودمان را میدهیم!!

همیشه خودباوری از درون شروع می شود
مهمه که بدونید بخش زیادی از زمان تون رو دارید صرف چیزهایی میکنید که واقعا براتون مهم هستند.


این کتاب درمورد اهمیت عزت نفس -راههای مبارزه با عزت نفس پایین و توجه به درون و خود نوشته شده. مثالهای خوبی داشت که میتونستند کمک کننده باشند برای ما هم در موقعیت های مشابه.
من با ترجمه کتاب خیلی ارتباط برقرار نکردم البته.

احساس گناه-خجالت و شرم-بی ارزش دانستن خود-وابستگی از هر نوعی : وابستگی به سیگار گرفته تا وابستگی به آدمها- اعتیاد به کار و.... مسائلی بودند که در این کتاب بهشون توجه شده بود. رهنمودهای جالبی داشت و در مجموع، کاربردی بود.

This is a short book. And yet, it can take forever to get through. That's the beauty of it. I think that learning and living these things is a long (life long perhaps) process, and I really enjoyed this portion of my process.

If you've ever thought you weren't good enough.. and that became a bad habit, you should definitely try to read this book. Some of it is very campy, but all of it is true. (in my opinion)

I will probably continue to read this one over and over again until I feel like I've attained a greater sense of self worth across the board.

کتاب "چگونه خودمان را دوست بداریم"، با نگاهی ویژه به عزت نفس و خودباوری، کوشش می کند خواننده را تشویق به شناخت زبان احساسش کند و به او بیاموزد که این احساس ها را به درستی بروز دهد. در این راه مانندها و راهکارهای خوبی هم پیشنهاد می دهد
از دید من در بین کتاب های روانشناسی ای که خوانده ام، کتاب خیلی خوبی است؛ چون با نگاهی عملگرا و کاربردی نوشته شده و در بند تئوری و بازی با واژه ها گرفتار نیست. ترجمه این کتاب اگرچه خالی از اشکال نیست اما ترجمه خوبی است

This book deserves more than five stars. For sure I will come back to it and refresh most important parts. The book gives clear message about value of self. The role of emotions, honesty, close relationship but also successes and losses. Dreams and challanging it. All these keys influence the way how we treat self. Then self is responsible for the way how we live. Really inspiring book.

کتاب خوبی بود

[Shannon McGee · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was very helpful and comforting at times. It written with loving care and easy to follow. It is not one of those self help books where you read a chapter and then have to perform what is said, you are instead able to continue and absorb what was read and continue to the next chapter.

I felt like this is a book where you can read over and over again gaining the loving feeling every time it is read because you are bound to take much time to learn to love oneself. Rereading will help gain that love.

Look, hear me out.
It's a short book you can't really get into it and know what the writer was on about. But somethings bothered me like hell and I'm not gonna lie. at first i liked it a little bit bc the infos was based on psychology and human psychology. As it kept going, it felt like every other selfhelp book that you read, you feel like you waste your time or it effects you for like a hour and then it's just gone and you forgot everything. Like you've never read this.
Ok so... Im not gonna explain the whole problems with this book bc I'm lazy and I'm not native english speaker (I'll ran into so many problems) so...

Go read some real psychology if you're interested, DO NOT READ self help books like this, these are just (not all of them but most of them) thoughts and experience from somebody else's life and point of view, it not going to have the same impact and effect on your life with your perspective. You're different so the way you're gonna love yourself is different.
You need to know the basic human psychology and brain function when it comes to dealing with our problems and especially self-love. (the subject we all deal with it lately bc of social media and Kardashian/Jenner family)

If you have problems with yourself these types of book might be just a temporary remedy, you need to do smth serious and reading this book is not one of them.

کوتاه و کمی کاربردی
یکم سختمه که در موردش بنویسم اما خب می‌تونم بگم خیلی با نحوه نوشته‌شدنش، مثال‌هاش حال نکردم، البته می‌تونه بخاطر الکترونیکی بودن یا ترجمه‌ش باشه
اما خب موضوع خوبی، خودباوری و عزت نفس، داشت و حرف‌هایی که می‌زد عمیق و پرحرف بودن، حتی بعضی جاها ببشتر و بهتر می‌تونست توضیح داده بشه… البته مثال‌ها و توضیحاتی بود که شاید باهاشون موافق نبودم و در مقابل خیلیاشون موافق بودم، نمی‌دونم.
در کل، حس می‌کنم ارزش خوندن داره و می‌تونه کاربردی و تامل‌برانکیز باشه. همین فکر کنم. همین.

[Dan Stern · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you are someone who continually struggles with self worth regardless of the circumstances and achievements in your life, this is a book of awareness and healing. Wegscheider-Cruse gives a thorough explanation of how you have come to this point, strategies for improving and eliminating the distortion, and wisdom to extend into your life's journey.

I found this book at a hostel and thought it was worth a read. It's written primarily for people who have experienced growing up in alcoholic homes, but still has a lot of tips for increasing self worth. Definitely gave me a lot to think about and helped join a few dots.

[Mahboobe · Rating 2 out of 5]

کتابی که به ریشه یابی بروز و سرکوب احساسات می پردازد و مختصر به ارائه راه حلی برای دوست داشتن خود اشاره کرده است.

یکی از مهم ترین کارهای زندگی ما دوست داشتن خودمونه تا بتونیم زندگی شاد و سالمی داشته باشیم و روابط سالمی با دیگران برقرار کنیم که بدون شک این کتاب کمک بزرگی به شما خواهد کرد تا به این مهم دست یابید.

[Brandon · Rating 5 out of 5]

everybody needs to learn to love themselves, or the path to attain happiness is twists-laden if at all accessible. having been always on the journey to renew myself in a better manner and live in a fuller expression, i find this book not only refreshingly inspirational but also too simple in conveying the complex concept of what self-worth really is.
if u ever consider reading a self-help book, this may not be the pow-wow bestseller but it definitely is but a wonderful beginner's guide. if ur an experienced reader in the category, u would only find the author's words a strong reminder of an easily forgotten commandment.

[Whole And · Rating 3 out of 5]

An excellent beginners guide learning to love oneself, gaining personal credibility and in so doing, building self worth. Simple steps on the journey to self worth are laid out with discussions on emotions, relationships and all the practical nuts and bolts of what takes us away from our self worth and what brings us back to ourselves.

A well rounded, cover every angle self growth book. The author showing us it's possible to heal ourselves from all sorts of traumas, move forward and live passionate integrated whole lives.

[Autumn · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book felt a bit dated but contained some good information, particularly in the first third. Like a lot of books like this, it had a lot of good information on the problem and less on the solution, or strategies for managing emotions and feelings. I felt like the last portion just included a lot of general therapy talk that wasn't of use to me and the book lost focus. I probably would not recommend this one overall.

[L.A. Jacob · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a stupid book. Written in very simple language, it discusses your inner child and things like that. I thought that whole idea was passe'. I should have known by the cover how dated it was. I also saw a few spelling errors.

[Safa Atassi · Rating 2 out of 5]

I will read it later, on my waiting list.

[Amy Haddon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Provided some good information, but I was looking for it to offer more in the way of helpful work.

[Maile · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy read. Stuff I've read before but a few things hit some spots this time.

[Donna Goetter]

How can we love others if we do not love Yourself? Finding your self-worth I say is the most important thing to learn. otherwise you can not truly love others. great book.
