Develop your self-esteem to increase psychological health, achievement, personal happiness, and positive relationship--from a leading psychotherapist "Brilliant, laser-focused and critically relevant, Dr. Nathaniel Branden's 'pillars' give us a lifelong set of foundations upon which to build our families, our schools and our businesses. "--Dennis Waitley, Ph. D. , author of The Psychology of Winning. Six Pillars of Self-Esteem is the culmination of a lifetime of clinical practice and study, already hailed as a classic and the most significant work on the topic. Immense in scope and vision and filled with insight into human motivation and behavior, it is essential reading for anyone with a personal or professional interest in self-esteem. Dr. Nathaniel Branden introduces the six pillars--six action-based practices for daily living that provide the foundation for self-esteem--and explores the central importance of self-esteem in five areas: the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and the culture at large. Six Pillars of Self-Esteem provides concrete guidelines for teachers, parents, managers, and therapists who are responsible for developing the self-esteem of others. And it shows why--in today's chaotic and competitive world--self-esteem is fundamental to our personal and professional power.
