Rethink Yourself: Change Your Thinking (Not Yourself) to Build Your Self-Esteem - Paperback

The book on self-esteem that speaks to the mind, not the heart.

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 no, that doesn't involve lying to yourself.

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.
