Self-Esteem Books

Offering a step-by-step program for building self-esteem, a self-help book shows how to talk back to the critical inner voice, foster compassion, handle mistakes and criticism, and use hypnosis and visualization for self-acceptance.

From the authors of "The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook" comes a series of 50 simple exercises designed to help readers challenge their inner critic and celebrate their self worth.
Self-worth and self-esteem are essential for optimal health. Without them, life can be painful, dominated by a critical inner voice that undermines the basic psychological structures necessary for healthy living. In The Self-Esteem Companion, the authors of several successful workbooks on stress reduction and self-esteem offer 50 realistic exercises to help readers break the cycle of self-abuse. They provide strategies for standing up to the "inner critic," making an inventory of personal strengths and weaknesses, and practicing self-compassion. Readers learn how to deal with mistakes, handle criticism, and feel more self-confident in their personal relationships.

Checklists, fill-ins, and exercises show readers how thoughts, emotions, physical health, and behavior impact their self-esteem. Periodic checkups help them gauge their progress, and final sections offer strategies for preventing relapse.
