"Before you can enjoy yourself, you need to know about yourself. In order to learn about yourself, you need to be selfish"
"I'm asking you to be chiefly concerned with your own interests especially to the exclusion of others. You cannot truly discover your 'self' if you are always putting the interests of others first."

Marvellous book on improving your self esteem. Many helpful tips and a cool guided visualisation. I took a lot away from this book. Ms Field is very encouraging.
