As a therapist for over 35 years, I am always looking for books that can help my clients,(and me). This little gem of a book is a welcome discovery.

It provides a powerful synthesis of some of the most important theories and practices in improving self-esteem. It is filled with simple, practical wisdom and exercises, and is written clearly, concisely, with gentleness, humor and compassion. I had used many of these approaches, but prior to "10 Solutions", had not seen them together in one book.

I highly recommend this book as a very helpful resource for anyone wishing to improve their own and/or their clients' self-esteem.

I found this book extremely well-written and easy to use. It's a very helpful guide to improving my self-esteem. I like the way it draws upon everyday experiences and comes up with useful, practical methods. I also like the fact that there is humor and everyday language.

I used to view self-esteem quite simplistically, but after reading this book I more fully appreciate its many sides and how my life can be benefitted by improving it. I think that the exercises at the end of the chapters are very helpful and easy to put into effect.

It's the kind of book you can take along with you wherever you go. I want to go back and read it again. It's given me a lot to think about.

I really like this book. It has taught me that as we grow up and live in a harsh society where everything you do, say, or even think, is a description of how much worth you have as an individual. What a truly sad world we live in to have such thoughts! We were taught as children that if we didn't became doctors, lawyers, or rich and famous, that we were worthless and don't deserve to be happy in life. This book has taught me that my own worth, deep inside of me as a human being, is COMPLETELY cut off from all the actions that I do on a daily basis; That all the mistakes and regrets I have, in the end, doesn't say anything about my worth. I realize that I have a lot of worth, that I am a wonderful human being, and that we should learn to cut ourselves some slack and learn to love ourselves above all. We are all imperfect humans, and there is beauty in it that it can never be found in so called "perfection". I learn to love my body thanks to this book; How miraculous and beautiful it is, always working and moving. I learn to give kindness to others, and that being kind to others mean you are being kind to yourself and humanity. Yes, I do struggle sometimes with my self-esteem and confidence sometimes still, but it's a whole lot better now that I've read this book. Give this a book a shot; You might be surprised what this little book can teach you!

A well written book and I recommend as a must read for all, could not stop reading this book once I started. Dr.Schiraldi does a great job especially on self worth and the building block of self esteem. He once again breaks into the core of the human emotion and the hidden dark confidence in us all. I would not recommend for people do not belive in meditation: Mindfelness, yoga.

This beautiful book is a treasure, or perhaps a 'Bible' of sorts -- Dr. Glenn Schiraldi at his best. Written with his usual warmth, clarity, gift for ditilling the complex, and vision for living well, '10 Simple Solutions for Building Self-Esteem' is a must-read for health practitioners, the general population, etc. -- ANYONE who wants to be happy and help others do so as well.

Twenty word minimum........... Thanks for the matrix.........

"10 Simple Solutions for building Self-Esteem". This book is very well crafted. My response is egocentric, to be sure. I am aged and discovering "new things" in life daily. This book is a wonderful guide for anyone in the later years. As well, those in younger years and in conflict can find the subtle directions to make life better and more easy going. In reflection, I stumbled as a youth. In my later years, I look forward to the special and subtle opportunities of my life. My path is no more structured. As well, I can reflect on "how I got here"........... Read, Dream and foster your friendships very carefully.......... WBB

I don't have much to say about this book, but felt the reviews needed balance corrected due to one harsh reviewer who seems to have issues with Buddhist type ideas (which is actually only a minor part of this book). It's a solid covering of the essentials, as appropriate for a Ten Simple Solutions type book.

So far so good. I read as much as I can a day. I like it so far
