Elevar la autoestima es tan sencillo para este autor que leer el libro sin duda disminuirá la poca que ya tienes。 No solo una pérdida de tiempo si no un insulto para el lector。

The best self-help book you will ever readProvided you do all the exercises in all the chapters。 You will know yourself better， you will find out the core reasons that is holding you back。 I can literally guarantee that you will have more self respect， self esteem and self love once you have completed this book。There were tears in my eyes in doing many of the exercises。 I was connecting with myself at a much much deeper level and it was just so so awesome。Go for it！ Don't think。 The best self-help book you will ever readProvided you do all the exercises in all the chapters。 You will know yourself better， you will find out the core reasons that is holding you back。 I can literally guarantee that you will have more self respect， self esteem and self love once you have completed this book。There were tears in my eyes in doing many of the exercises。 I was connecting with myself at a much much deeper level and it was just so so awesome。Go for it！ Don't think。 。。。more

This book provides a lot of insights into the process of raising your self-esteem。 Its a very practical lesson with a lot of sentence completion exercises。 They are great activities to complete which makes this more of a workbook on loving yourself。

I didn't actually finish this one。 Not because it wasn't good， but because in just lost interest。 I might come back to it in the future， or I might skim it。I was pleasantly surprised that it's somewhat of a workbook。 I borrowed it from the library hoping to use it for self-improvement reading， with low expectations that I'd find much actually useful。I experimented with doing the writing exercises and found it enjoyable （the way any therapy is enjoyable， that is）。 I would be interested in a book I didn't actually finish this one。 Not because it wasn't good， but because in just lost interest。 I might come back to it in the future， or I might skim it。I was pleasantly surprised that it's somewhat of a workbook。 I borrowed it from the library hoping to use it for self-improvement reading， with low expectations that I'd find much actually useful。I experimented with doing the writing exercises and found it enjoyable （the way any therapy is enjoyable， that is）。 I would be interested in a book with fewer examples， but instead more of a set of journal prompt and brief explanation of each group of prompts （which is the main way I actually did use the book）。Self-help and psychology books can be hard to recommend and rate because it's such an individualized subject。 I would rate this book 3 stars。 I liked the workbook aspects， but felt the explanations were wordier then I prefer。 。。。more

It was interesting but not as much information as the 6 pillars and examples are abit outdated and simple

Buen libro de autoayuda si queréis tratar ese tema。 Mucho trabajo y nada fácil el que propone el libro。 Hay currar mucho la visión de tu interior y （preveo） te encontrarás con mucha resistencia a ese trabajo。

The first time I read How to Raise Your Self-Esteem: the Proven Action-Oriented Approach to Greater Self-Respect and Self-Confidence was back in 2009; I completed reading this for the second time in the fall of 2019。 In fits and starts， I spent over a year and a half actually doing the exercises throughout the book。 As the subtitle says， it’s an ‘action-oriented’ approach to raise your self-esteem， increase greater self-respect and self-confidence。Using a unique method of healing early w The first time I read How to Raise Your Self-Esteem: the Proven Action-Oriented Approach to Greater Self-Respect and Self-Confidence was back in 2009; I completed reading this for the second time in the fall of 2019。 In fits and starts， I spent over a year and a half actually doing the exercises throughout the book。 As the subtitle says， it’s an ‘action-oriented’ approach to raise your self-esteem， increase greater self-respect and self-confidence。Using a unique method of healing early wounds， Nathaniel Brandon offers the reader an opportunity to go back and process the unprocessed feelings of abandonment， rejection， guilt， shame etc using sentence completion procedure。 One is invited to complete incomplete sentences， or sentence stems by whatever comes up for them in the process。 For example， one would be urged to write six to ten sentence endings as quickly as possible without analyzing their responses to the following: Sometimes， looking back over my life， I can hardly believe that at one time I___ and now they finish the sentence。 Or， it’s not easy for me to admit that____The exercises take one through their childhood into adulthood using this method。 Sometimes I found it difficult to feel and process the emotions， but that was the whole purpose of using the book – to get to those unprocessed feelings and let them go。This is a very valuable workbook for those wanting to heal and let go of their past。I highly recommend。 。。。more

Un libro con fundamentos psicológicos como el sí-mismo， el cultivo del respeto， reconocimiento y amor por uno mismo。Branden explica las razones culturales que contribuyen a una baja autoestima， los estigmas o prejuicios de este concepto， reiterando la importancia del autoconcepto。

Great book on Raising Self-Esteem！It’s a practical workbook touching most important topics like importance of self esteem， liberation from guilt， accepting the self as is， Leaving consciously， responsibly and authentically。 Also it shows how to nurture the self esteem of others。This is workbook and not just for reading。 All the exercises will only work if practiced。 A nice read on the subject and whoever wants to work on their self-esteem。

I was being lazy reading the book simply because of the various exercises in it。 But that said， it was very insightful。 There is a lot of things I've learnt and will definitely be applying to my own life。 I enjoyed the idea of living authentically and also truthfully with oneself。 I also was struck by the thought of how there is a tendency to view self-confidence as selfishness when in essence it isn't。 It's more of an affirmation for all。 It is better to live in a world where people are self co I was being lazy reading the book simply because of the various exercises in it。 But that said， it was very insightful。 There is a lot of things I've learnt and will definitely be applying to my own life。 I enjoyed the idea of living authentically and also truthfully with oneself。 I also was struck by the thought of how there is a tendency to view self-confidence as selfishness when in essence it isn't。 It's more of an affirmation for all。 It is better to live in a world where people are self confident to be able to achieve their dreams。 All in all a good read。 。。。more

Maybe this book just wasn't for me。 I wasn't a fan of the style this was written it， but it had a decent outline of what to do。 I kind of wish it was longer though and went into more detail Maybe this book just wasn't for me。 I wasn't a fan of the style this was written it， but it had a decent outline of what to do。 I kind of wish it was longer though and went into more detail 。。。more

This book is like a map by which you will find your coordination， where you are， where you wanna go and where you are unconsciously headed。 Reading this book reveals all the lies you have been telling yourself a lifetime， it unravels the reasons behind all the actions you take and then you are surprised that is it really you doing this？ It kills the hope for waiting for a rescuer and honestly asks you to take the responsibility for your developement and growth。 It takes away all the alibies and This book is like a map by which you will find your coordination， where you are， where you wanna go and where you are unconsciously headed。 Reading this book reveals all the lies you have been telling yourself a lifetime， it unravels the reasons behind all the actions you take and then you are surprised that is it really you doing this？ It kills the hope for waiting for a rescuer and honestly asks you to take the responsibility for your developement and growth。 It takes away all the alibies and cuts your point finger which is trying to find sb to blame。 This is a workbook for step by step self developement so please do the sentence completions passionately and take them serious。 R。I。P dear Nathaniel 。。。more

I picked this book in a difficult time in my life where I really needed such a practical method to get it together。 While this might not be the absolute solution for raising self-esteem， it did help with shedding some light on the whole misunderstood concept of self confidence and how it really effects all sorts of people even those who had everything right on the outside。 Recommended。

After struggling with this book for almost a year now， I have abandoned it at the child-self and teenage-self chapter。 I felt this chapter was a complete miss for me。 This book in general is good to make you understand what experiences in life made your self esteem lower and what you might do to improve it。 If you take your time to do the exercises， like I did， this book is a powerful source of self awareness。 However， especially the long sentence completions exercises made this book so tedious After struggling with this book for almost a year now， I have abandoned it at the child-self and teenage-self chapter。 I felt this chapter was a complete miss for me。 This book in general is good to make you understand what experiences in life made your self esteem lower and what you might do to improve it。 If you take your time to do the exercises， like I did， this book is a powerful source of self awareness。 However， especially the long sentence completions exercises made this book so tedious for me and I had to force myself to go forward。 Overall， it did not improve my self esteem just made me think about it more often than I did before。 。。。more

อ่านไม่ยากอย่างที่คิดผู้เขียนได้รับฉายาว่าบิดาแห่งจิตวิทยาการสร้างความนับถือตัวเองอ่านไม่ยาก-แต่เล่ายากในเล่มมีเรื่องเล่าของผู้ที่ไปรักษากับเขามากมายหลายเรื่องทุกครั้งที่เล่าจบก็จะต่อท้ายด้วยประโยคประมาณว่า“เรามีเรื่องราวแบบนี้บ้างไหม”“เรื่องนี้มีผลกระทบกับเรายังไง”ผู้เขียนยังเล่าขั้นตอนวิธีการรักษาเยียวยาการสร้างความนับถือตัวเองมีแบบฝึกหัดให้เราได้ลองทำสารภาพว่ายังไม่ได้ทำเลยสักข้อ

This book is a gem; reading it was easy。 Not one word from the book felt unnecessary， it felt exactly right。 It was simultaneously comprehensive and compact。 But like the author cautions， that without the exercises outlined in this book being exercised， it's the same as any other book: scintillating but useless。 Now it's the exercising part， let's see how it goes。 I can already imagine some pain， aggression， and embarrassment coming my way as I address my issues。 :） This book is a gem; reading it was easy。 Not one word from the book felt unnecessary， it felt exactly right。 It was simultaneously comprehensive and compact。 But like the author cautions， that without the exercises outlined in this book being exercised， it's the same as any other book: scintillating but useless。 Now it's the exercising part， let's see how it goes。 I can already imagine some pain， aggression， and embarrassment coming my way as I address my issues。 :） 。。。more
