“Chock-full of effective and practical strategies for raising self-esteem … helpful for anyone who wishes to end negative thinking and learn to see their true value.”
—Matthew McKay, PhD, coauthor of Self-Esteem

“It is impossible to read this book without feeling better about oneself and others. It should be required reading for every living soul.”

“What a wonderful workbook! Even for those of us who feel we have a high level of self-esteem, this book provides insight and techniques for improving those areas that sometimes make us question ourselves and our self worth. With some of my more difficult physical therapy patients, I often employ the cognitive rehearsal technique of acknowledging what is ‘right’ about themselves to break their negative views of themselves or their situation. This in itself often leads to acceleration in the healing process.”
—Linda C. Harvey, MA, PT, physical therapy role extender for rehabilitation coordinator for the Visiting Nurses Association of Maryland

“This book is excellent. We are already using it in our self-esteem presentations. It’s one of the first and finest self-esteem resource guidebooks that offer in-depth information in a grounded, useful way.”
—Jaqueline Miller, Maryland Governor’s Task Force on Self-Esteem

“Self-esteem—its importance and how to develop and protect it—is a poorly understood concept in today’s world of the ‘quick fix.’ Glenn Schiraldi has done a great service in assembling all of the material on this important topic. His practical, step-by-step format and powerful skill-building exercises lead the participant on a purposeful journey that can result in a future of better mental health and well-being.”
—Sharlene M. Weiss, PhD, founder and former director of psychosocial oncology at the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and associate professor of medicine, psychiatry, and psychology at the University of Miami School of Medicine

“I have been teaching courses in human development for nearly forty years. I am impressed by the wealth of material—activities, exercises, and accompanying narratives—found in Glenn Schiraldi’s The Self-Esteem Workbook Second Edition, Revised Edition. An excellent resource!”
—Albert H. Gardner, PhD, associate professor of human development, and director of Advocates for Children at the University of Maryland

“Dr. Schiraldi has created a hands-on program that can be used as a complete program or for counselors wishing to add specific exercises to treatment. This book is certainly appropriate for continuing education of counselors as well as an office manual. The material is current and well organized.”
—Thomas W. Clawson, executive director at the National Board for Certified Counselors

“Glenn Schiraldi has skillfully and thoughtfully brought together three essential elements for lasting change: sound principles, practical applications, and a reasonable time frame for real change to occur. It’s all right here!”
—Claudia A. Howard, MEd, president of Individual Potential Seminars
