Wow

Soothing, objective and nourishing, overcoming low self esteem was a life saver. I recommend it to anyone feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. It really gave me the power of separating/ gathering my thoughts and feelings and placing them in its proper context.

Worth listening even for people with good self est

My opinion is rhat the book contains valuable real life applicable advises.

Seems that self esteem is flexible reflecting our life journey ups & downs not set in stone. The author teach us how to use different tools to develop kinder and more accepting attetude towards our self.

i may listen the book few more times l.

Very helpful

A great insight into basic level anxiety, low self esteem and depression. If you have a more severe level of these things, the book allows you the opportunity to recognise that and decide whether seeking more professional help is a good option.

Overall, I’m pleased with the final result and I do feel that I have a much more positive outlook on my life.

Very helpful for increasing confidence

Narrator has a headmistress voice that is strong but kindly and caring. Listening to this audiobook enabled me to do some things I'd not dared to do. I'll be sure to listen to the audiobook again and again to integrate her very helpful no nonsense reassuring approach to life into my core.

very useful

A lovely, calming voice helps you to map out some inner thoughts. Not cheesy or grating like some self-helps can be.

Very poor. Very patronising.

Any additional comments?

No help at all. I found this to be very patronising and full of nonsense and very cliched advice. I barely took anything from it, despite struggling the whole way thru it!

DULL!

Any additional comments?

For me, i found this very very boring. Slow paced and unhelpful. I had heard all the advice a million times before. Contained nothing new. Maybe int he 80's this was an exciting and helpful book but times have moved on. Sorry, not for me.
