This book was a life changer for me. Self-Esteem is not akin to "confidence" as it has come to be seen by most people. I was always confident, but I lacked real self-esteem which can only come from reflection. Hope this helps some people live a happier life.
1. Living Consciously - If we do not bring an appropriate level of consciousness to our activities, if we do not live mindfully, the inevitable penalty is a diminished sense of self-efficacy and self-respect.
2. Self-Acceptance - To be self-accepting is to be on my own side – to be for myself.
3. Self-Responsibility - To feel competent to live and worthy of happiness, I need to experience a sense of control over my existence.
4. Self-Assertiveness – Means honoring my wants, needs, values and seeking appropriate forms of their expression in reality.
5. Living Purposefully – To live purposely is, among other things, to live productively, which is a necessity of making ourselves competent to life.
6. Personal Integrity – When we behave in ways that conflict with our judgment of what is appropriate, wee lose face in our own eyes.
