So the Six pillars book was good? My hope was reading these type of books would provide me insight on building and maintaining self-esteem in a structured manner, and to perhaps better understand it.
Oh man, Daddy it's changing my life. I've got both the paperback book and the audio book and have been listening/reading both, just to make sure all the concepts soak into my mind.
And, it's very well-written, very structured and sensible. I cannot recommend it enough. He begins by explaining the two primary components of self-esteem - self-efficacy and self-respect. After that he talks about the 'face of self-esteem', the illusion of self esteem - things people use to try to raise their self-esteem that don't work, then goes into the six pillars. There's also excellent exercises for each pillar. It's a very thorough and well-thought out reference book. I hope you try it and have as much good experiences with it as I have had!
I'm going to be checking out audio books, thanks for the feedback. I will get it as soon as I can afford it, prolly the next paycheck.
