Self-Esteem
Book description

Why read it?
2 authors picked Self-Esteem as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend this book to many of my clients because you create your life based on your perceived self-concept about who you are in the world. If you don’t feel good about who you are it’s hard to build a good life. This book is great because it applies the well-researched principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy to overcoming the inner critic and building a positive view of one’s self, creating the much-needed platform for transforming your life.
From Jennice's list on improving your life.
So much of my own anxiety was caused by my broken self-esteem and the way I thought about myself. McKay and Fanning presented clear, relevant exercises to challenge my toxic self-talk and to create a balanced view of myself. Through their visualizations and exercises, I could see that anxiety wasn’t my only attribute. I loved that the exercises took only a few minutes each, but could powerfully improve my mood and create a positive, calm outlook. I bookmarked my favorites and came back to them when feeling anxious.
From Em's list on to conquer anxiety.
