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.</b></p><p>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 <i>interpretation</i> of our circumstances that can cause trouble, regardless of what they are.</p><p>This revised and updated fourth edition of the best-selling <i>Self-Esteem</i> 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.</p><p>If you struggle with low or unhealthy self-esteem, this new edition of <i>Self-Esteem</i>, packed with evidence-based tips and techniques, has everything you need to improve the way you see yourself for better overall well-being.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Self-Esteem</i> is truly a very special title.
