(8 : 30 jours pour augmenter l’estime de soi - Valérie Richard)

Summary: Self-esteem is shaped in childhood according to our feelings, experiences and interactions with loved ones and teachers. As children, we are by nature joyful, full of love, and intolerant of judgement. To feel loved and accepted, children have to transform their inner personality according to what adults expect of them, and they take judgments made about them at face value. If they are mostly negative, or if adults pay them little attention, over time they develop the belief that they are unworthy of love. So what can be done to regain the self-esteem they need to live a fulfilling life? In this book, we follow a 15-step, 30-day journey with two objectives: realising your worth day by day, and then building genuine, sustainable self-esteem. In each chapter, you'll find simple exercises to help you rediscover your potential, achieve your goals and take back the reins of your life.

You'll be guided through daily exercises that will allow you to gradually make an effort. Readers will notice positive changes.
