It lies at the heart of happiness, because until you accept yourself as the person you are, you cannot be truly content.

He offers examples to show you how to put the ideas into practice, to help you make the first necessary step towards happiness.

A realistic and practical- minded guide to embracing oneself, strengths and weaknesses alike,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Accept Yourself (Overcoming Common Problems) (Paperback)
Psychotherapeutic Studies professor Dr. Windy Dryden presents How to Accept Yourself, a realistic and practical- minded guide to embracing oneself, strengths and weaknesses alike, offering tested techniques for overcoming anxiety, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. Topics covered include the importance of unconditional self-acceptance, questioning one's beliefs, acting on healthy beliefs, developing a realistic view of oneself and one's life experiences, specifying one's problems and setting goals, and much more. How to Accept Yourself is a consumable guide, with blank spaces for the reader to fill in answers to thought-provoking questions. Highly recommended as a building block to making positive changes in one's life.
