About this ebook

This little book guides you in understanding self-confidence, high self-esteem and a sense of dignity that are vital elements in feeling good about yourself and achieving what you want in life. Conventional wisdom as well as countless research studies tells us that high self-esteem is reflected in satisfying relationships, a successful career and other valued aspects of life, such as feeling good and being content.

You’ll learn about the different personas that people take on to mask poor self-image and how you can work to eliminate these personas from your personal profile and develop your maximum potential when it comes to self-esteem. Learn how self-esteem is more than a catchword, how you get the best self-esteem for yourself, what gets in the way of it and when you’ve got it, how you can maintain that optimal sense of yourself.
