If I have low self-esteem it is all my parents’ fault. 2. We are all valuable because we are alive and we just are trying to survive and doing the best we can. (Yeah, tell that to Ayn Rand.) 3. We can enhance our self-esteem through powerful visualization techniques, like visualizing ourselves getting out of bed or eating a sandwich. Ooh, that’ll work! 3. Self-hypnosis is easy and fun! 4. There is no such thing as good or bad or right or wrong. No one can be blamed or judged for anything they do or fail to do. “[P]eople always act according to their prevailing awareness, needs, and values. Even the terrorist planting bombs to hurt the innocent is making a decision based on his or her highest good.” Awesome. We can all be totally selfish and do whatever we want even if it results in the death of other people, as long as we feel good about ourselves while doing it! 5. I pretty much stopped listening after #4. What crock of bantha poodoo. 6. Oh, yeah, one more important thing: A major drawback of reading e-books is the inability to fling a book across the room with great force when it makes you as angry as #4 made me. This is an okay book if you're looking for a pretty structured "course" to work through, and if you're fairly open-minded, and if you don't mind the occasional pablum, poor writing, and excessive arguments. However, if you're like me, and find the inappropriate use of the word "literally" (as in, "you will literally jump out of your skin") distracting, or think that notions of forgiveness and repentance are more than just psychological baggage to be disposed of at the nearest opportunity, or have difficulty suspending your likes and dislikes for the sake of arbitrary exercises, you might want to look elsewhere. Because the book can be exhausting in those sorts of ways. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
If you struggle with low self-esteem, or you're seeking positive and effective ways of building a healthy sense of self-worth, this much-anticipated fourth edition of the best-selling classic by Matthew McKay is your go-to guide. This fully revised edition features an innovative application of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to self-esteem, and utilizes updated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you create positive change and thrive. Circumstances and status can affect self-esteem-many factors can contribute to the way we see ourselves-but the one contributing factor that all people who struggle with low self-esteem have in common is our thoughts. Of course we all have a better chance of feeling good about ourselves when things are going well, but it's really our interpretation of our circumstances that can cause trouble, regardless of what they are. This revised and updated fourth edition of the best-selling Self-Esteem uses proven-effective methods of CBT and relevant components of ACT to help you raise low self-esteem by working on the way you interpret your life. You'll learn how to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy self-esteem, how to uncover and analyze negative self-statements, and how to create new, more objective and positive self-statements to support your self-esteem rather than undermine it. And with cutting-edge material on defusion and values, you'll learn to let go of judgmental, self-attacking thoughts and act in accordance with what matters to you most, enhancing your sense of self-worth. If you struggle with low or unhealthy self-esteem, this new edition of Self-Esteem, packed with evidence-based tips and techniques, has everything you need to improve the way you see yourself for better overall well-being.

Since childhood, I have struggled with low self-esteem. I have a Ph.D. in physics, a good job, and a loving wife. However, I still said to myself on a daily basis, "I am a failure." "It is all my fault." "It is only a matter of time before they find out I am not as good as they think I am." "I don't understand why she is still with me." Working through this book with my counselor has been the most important part of breaking out of these lies about myself.
This is not easy work, but it is worthwhile, and I would recommended to anyone whose head is echoing with the same self-hating lies. ( )
