Self-esteem problems are becoming more and more common and there is a very good reason for this. With divorce rates up and with pressure being put on people to achieve, there’s no wonder that some people really feel they don’t live up to the standards that society expects of them. It’s hard to be perfect and yet we see picture perfect people on the covers of magazines and on our TV screens. We also see advertisements for all the products that can help us to live up to those norms, but most are hype. So once you have a problem with the way that you look at yourself, how do you get beyond that negative approach? That’s what this experiment is all about. We know that the strategies that we have devised within the pages of this book will help you to get beyond feeling bad about who you are. They will also help you to build up your confidence so that you face the world you live in with optimism and positivity. The strategies employed in this book have been proven to work and it will be worthwhile trying each one in turn because each of them adds to your confidence levels and one on its own may not be enough. Thus, go through the book. Try the exercises we suggest and then look at yourself in a different light. You will know your own value and you won’t need other people to validate who you are. That’s important because people with self-esteem issues constantly look for validation from others. You need to stop that right now because even if people do validate you, it’s not doing much for your opinion of yourself. At the end of the day, that’s the only opinion that counts because it’s the one you have to live with. We will teach you how to succeed and to feel good about yourself, through purposely not seeking validation from others. Instead, the exercises within this experiment are those that only need the approval of one person and that is yourself. Learn to feel good about your interactions with others. Learn to enjoy being you. That’s what life is all about and when you learn that, you will never go back to feeling inadequate again. Lets Get Started!
Disclosure: I was offered a free copy of this book by the author in return for an honest review.
I have to say this typically would not be a book I'd pick up to read, both the title and look of the cover would put me off. It's only because the author asked that I added this to my to read list and read it I did. I have to say I liked the book, it's a touchy subject I am sure, who after all wants to admit they have self-esteem issues and if you know you do who'd like to be seen reading about it! Anyway, the author has a very easy going approach, it's not critical, it's not wishy-washy it's just to the point, factual, appears to be very credible and somewhat soothing. Visions of lying on a couch and having the expert talk about the topic or your doctor explaining your condition- but seriously it's not like that at all. More like a wise mentor giving you the hard love truth of reality and what you could choose to do should you wish to. It's a short read, something you can finish whilst commuting or waiting, a tiny investment of your time and attention for a powerful return.
