Summary: A Wonderful Workbook
Review: A wonderful workbook for someone who is in distress. Dr. Schiraldi has the comforting gift of communicating his ideas as if he is in your presence speaking to you. The many different quotes he uses helped me in my introspection, and helped me to clarify my own thoughts and feelings. Through creative exercises The Self Esteem Workbook helped me to learn how to appreciate myself physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Summary: There's a better book out there
Review: After reading "Self Esteem" by McKay and having it change my life, I thought that this book would be a good companion. I was wrong.

As opposed to McKay's book, which helps you look rationally at why you do what you do, this book seemed like a lot of bellybutton gazing.

I was especially turned off by the overly religious and anti-gay sentiments in it.

Review: I have found Dr. Schiraldi's book very helpful. This is not the first book that I have read from his masterfully written series of the art of the soul and psychological healing. I personally believe that one day his magnificent books will and should be a part of the core program of every healthcare professional including physicians. I thank him for his efforts.

Summary: The Self-Esteem Workbook------Insightful & practical
Review: In the 25 years experience in the field of trauma, abuse & addiction I've found that healing begins at the core and the seed in the core is self esteem. How does one get to the core when it's emersed in the mire of denial and shrouded in the defense mechanisms of hurt. Schiraldi has a practical, clear step-by-step method of peeling away the layers of dark so one can emerge into the light of self understanding, self compassion, forgiveness and love. This work builds an identity which is based on our own treasure trove of experiences as a survivor with wisdom and consciousness of being part of a whole. Schiraldi offers the individual working solo, or a health care practitioner a simple systematic breakdown of the complex components of self esteem. Depending on one's depth of pain and willingness will determine if one will stick to a four month comittment to use Shiraldi's roadmap to change your perceptions in order to change your life.

Review: IT WORKS! Thank you Dr. Schiraldi. Going through the exercises made me realize that I'm a better, stronger person than I thought I was.
You've given me a completely new perspective - and the tools I need to change my outlook.

P.S. I feel as if I know you - you write with such warmth, understanding and good humor - as if you were speaking directly to me. Thanks, again
