"It's inevitable in the course of any career that sometimes you make mistakes and fail. What decisive for your future is not defeat but the state of mind which you greet it."

The book discusses the role of self-esteem in workplace success and organization growth. It traces the concept from past generations up to the modern time. It explains how self-esteem contributes to an optimistic mindset and positive work environment. How it fosters innovation and productivity in life. Self-esteem basically impacts every aspect of life, from work to your interpersonal relationships and to your entire being.

I really love this book 🥺❤ it influenced my mind to shift and be more optimal.

Good extension of Branden's work into the world of work. Quick read. Impressed by Branden's foresight about how the work world was going to change considering this was written in 1998.
