Self-esteem is a person's perception of their worth and value. It also has to deal with people’s sensations due to their sense of worthiness or unworthiness. People's choices and decisions are significantly influenced by their self-esteem. In other words, self-esteem motivates people by making it more or less probable that they will take care of themselves and reach their full potential.

People with high self-esteem are also driven to care for themselves and work hard toward achieving their objectives and desires. People with low self-esteem do not think they are deserving of or capable of getting pleasurable outcomes; as a result, they choose to put off important tasks and are less persistent and challenging in the face of adversity. They may have the same goals as persons with higher self-esteem but are less driven to see them through to completion. Self-esteem is a reasonably nebulous word; it's difficult for someone who doesn't have it to imagine what it's like to have it.

This book is written to help you commit to your self-love with care and good intentions. It should motivate you to make sound judgments that concern only your love, care, and the extent to which you are proud of yourself. I hope this book will challenge you to make intelligent judgments about yourself that increase rather than decrease your worth.
