About Rethink Yourself (Change Your Thinking (Not Yourself) to Build Your Self-Esteem:
The book on self-esteem that speaks to the mind, not the heart.
Common approaches to improving self-esteem often involve a little bit of inspiration and a whole lot of self-love. And while that approach can be transformative for some, it leaves many others feeling a bit shorted, wondering if there’s another way. Rethink Yourself offers a refreshingly grounded approach to building your self-esteem.
Low self-esteem isn’t a product of personal deficiencies, even if it feels that way—it’s a product of unfair and unkind self-talk. To improve your self-esteem, you don’t need to change yourself; you just need to change the way you think about yourself. And empty platitudes or endless affirmations into the mirror won’t quite cut it. Authoritative and insightful, Rethink Yourself uses proven-effective methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and guides you through a series of actionable exercises to help you make lasting change.
This book will help you:
– give yourself the credit you deserve without being arrogant
– change your negative self-talk by making it work for you, not against you
– evaluate your personal qualities fairly and accurately
– know and honor your innate worth
– uncover positive qualities you didn’t even realize you had
– take your mistakes in stride
– communicate with confidence
. . . and so much more!
Building your self-esteem isn’t about feeling inspired to somehow uncover your hidden confidence, and it’s certainly more nuanced than just looking in the mirror and telling yourself you’re awesome. It’s about changing those deeply held beliefs about yourself that keep you from seeing who you already are.
