The Mocking Mirror: Developing a healthy self-esteem in an image-conscious world

by Miguel Ángel Núñez

In today’s image-conscious culture, many people struggle to develop and maintain a healthy self-esteem. The world’s obsession with beauty, fame, intelligence and power leave most of us feeling ugly and inadequate. Tragically, some find it almost impossible to value and accept themselves for who they are.

Young people especially strive to be considered attractive, capable and successful, yet what they need is what every human being yearns for: to be loved and accepted.

In “The Mocking Mirror” Dr Núñez challenges the values of a society that so often rewards the beautiful and rejects the plain. He encourages us to appreciate our uniqueness and elaborates on methods to develop a confident self-acceptance that can supersede the lies of vanity and self-loathing.

This book is essential reading for young people, parents and educators.
