NEW HARBINGER Self-Esteem, 4th Edition: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving, and Maintaining your Self-Esteem

My therapist recommended this book, and initially, I was skeptical about CBT, thinking it was more of a superficial solution to deeper issues. However, this book changed my perspective. It’s thorough and extremely logical. Even though I’m only halfway through, it has already brought profound shifts in my thinking (and perfectionism), helping me distinguish between my ”shoulds” and my true values, and improving how I view and handle mistakes. This book is making me a better person and a better mother. I know it’s a cliché to say “everyone should read this book,” but I genuinely believe it. Read it, do the exercises, whether you have self-esteem issues or not.

I am not a native English speaker and the language is very simple and easy to understand. A smooth read and it keeps me engaged, which is huge as I suffer from reduced attention span. I am still reading the first few chapters, and it is definitely a helpful book - it is not just a read, but a workbook which makes you to think about yourself and act accordingly. I have started feeling better about myself since I started reading the book.

A friend recommended this book to me. It’s a great great book. It is written by therapists themselves. And it has really powerful technique and chapters in it. I think skimming through this book would not be a good approach and whoever wants to get the best use of this book, should take their time with every chapter and not feel disheartened if it’s taking long to complete - as the joy of the book and the learnings, is in the journey. A life changing book - will definitely recommend to everyone who needs it!
