I agree with the other reviewers that this is a very good book on self-esteem one of the best ones I've read. The book tells you everything you wanted to know about Low self-esteem. But not much for improving it, read "A Guide to Rational Living" by Albert Ellis and "The Three Faces of Love" by Paul A. Hauck.
Dr. Sorensen's book was written as if she wrote it just for me. The examples given were so similar to my own experiences. Now I know why I've struggled in so many areas of my life and what the underlying cause is. But the best thing is that I'm learning what I can do to overcome low self-esteem and that gives me hope for the future. I applaud Dr. Sorensen's work.
