About this title

Review:

This book is excellent. We are already using it in our self-esteem presentations. It's one of the first and finest self-esteem resource guide books that offers in-depth information in a grounded, useful way.
--Jaqueline Miller, Maryland Governor's Task Force on Self-Esteem

As a former legislative aide to John Vasconcellos and the Self-Esteem effort, I found the book to be practical and impactful in its suggested activities. It can enlighten the thinking and enrich a person's experience of their own self-esteem.
