Self-Esteem: An Inside Job, takes readers on an experiential journey of the heart that results in acceptance and love for one’s self. The path of discovery winds through the reader’s life, beginning with early childhood and weaving in and out of relationships with parents and others who purposefully or inadvertently influenced their thinking.
Through a series of experiential exercises, authors Sandra Abell and Janice Napoleon invite readers to explore both past experiences and present behaviors. This process helps them identify incorrect labels, perceptions and limitations, and to replace them with empowering messages, loving acceptance and a blueprint for growth. It answers the question, “Why do I have low self-esteem?” Along the way, readers shed their false self-image, re-discover their true identity, and value what makes them special and unique.
Self-Esteem: An Inside Job is about gaining self-knowledge, reclaiming personal power, establishing an authentic set of core values, and building a strong, positive belief system. The book offers readers a private venue to work through negative self-talk, fear, jealousy, anger, guilt and other harmful emotions and related behaviors.
The self-esteem workbook format can also be used by psychologists and therapists who identify self-esteem as an issue for clients, and in group settings in which self-esteem is an essential element.
Through Self-Esteem: An Inside Job, Abell and Napoleon provide guidance and support for readers while teaching them to value who they are, laugh a lot more, and enjoy success as their truest selves.
