5.0 out of 5 stars best little self-esteem book in self-help, June 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Self-Esteem Companion (Paperback)

I really enjoyed the straightforward simplicity of this little book. I also gained many practical tips for reinforcing my own esteem. I recommend it to anyone who has ever had a self-critical thought.

4.0 out of 5 stars self esteem exercises are positive soul searching, March 19, 2006

By	Celeste M. Seibold (erie, pa USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a psychologist I am always looking for short exercises to deliver an immediate response so people who are skeptical can see results. This is one of those positive, short chaptered resources that people will immediately connect with. This is also written by people from New Harbinger Press and this is also a relable source all around. Let the healing start somewhere!!

As a counselor, I'm always looking for new books and ideas to engage clients... this book has some wonderful exercises and the comentary is quite enlightening as well. I bought one for myself and then bought one for my adult daughter. I love the 'five finger exercise!'
