About the book: 2023 / Stress, failures, health problems, domestic and work conflicts negatively affect our self-esteem. But how can you support it? Self-esteem is the ability to love and respect yourself in a moment of defeat just as much as in victory. In Healthy Self-Esteem: 10 Steps to Self-Confidence, David Burns, author of the bestselling book Mood Therapy, talks about how to develop a personal value system, cope with negative emotions, and identify areas where you may be emotionally vulnerable. All Readers see the same words on the page, but react to them differently. Do you know what's the matter? The same words on a piece of paper cannot make ten different people experience ten different feelings! You probably create them yourself. Do you understand what this means? Your mood is generated by your thoughts, not external events. You will find proven psychotherapeutic techniques, written assignments and practical exercises, as well as tests and questionnaires that will help improve self-perception, mood and performance. The fact is that we are all human and most of us are imperfect in many ways. It doesn’t matter who you are - a psychologist, a parent, a talented athlete or a teacher: in any case, you have shortcomings and shortcomings. When you accept them with a sense of inner peace, rather than shyly hiding them from prying eyes, it takes a heavy burden off your shoulders: judgment and harsh mental criticism suddenly lose their power. Often you suddenly feel free and energized. For whom: For everyone who wants to improve their self-esteem and achieve better results in life.
