Summary: Very Thorough Book on Self Esteem
Review: At the root of all our psychological/life obstacles and problems is the concept of lack of self esteem. Self esteem can lead to almost everything; not getting the promotion you deserve, not asking for what you want, not making the right choices, self defeating behaviour that prohibit your growth.

After reading Twerski's book, now I get it. Twerski does a great job outlining the problems associated with low self -esteem, and leads us to ways of overcoming it. This obviously is not an overnight treatment but rather something that may take years to overcome behaviour pattersn that's been ingrained in us since sometimes childhood.

Basically, I liked this book alot, not just for it's in-depth discussion about self-esteem, but also for it's much larger application in personal self-help.

Summary: Hit the Problems on the head for me!
Review: While this book is very basic, it is very clear and precise, easy to understand. It clearly defines many issues and specifically what they are that cause one to get into self-defeating behavior. Where there is the knowledge and understanding of what a person is doing, comes the ability to make the choice to change. That's what this book does-paints a picture of clearly what is going on-and gives people a choice to change the direction they are going in or the particular behavior. What is particularly helpful is, most of the defeating behavior patterns would be normally accepted as normal life patterns, when in fact, they are all a choice. Understanding that gives one the ability to step into new and exciting life changes to a happier and healthier life. This book confirmed everything that I had been thinking and reading from other sources and is "right on".
