In Change Your Beliefs, Change Your Life, Dr. Nick Hall shows you how to recognize the impact your beliefs have on your life. The important thing is to know where any given belief comes from and understand how and why you internalized it - especially if it's a belief you want to change.

Story
Have you ever written down a goal? As you were writing it, did you hear two voices in your head? One voice saying: "That's it. I'm going to change my life!" "You can have it if you work for it!" Then the other saying: "Don't be a fool; you'll lose everything." "Forget It. That's ridiculous." The first voice is the positive voice of your dream; the other is the voice of current reality. The second voice sees only the present and the past (which no longer exists)... but the first sees the future as it could be.

Offering a pragmatic approach, the authors show how you can prepare for situations by shifting to the appropriate self, rather than being “switched” or “triggered” into a sub-optimal part of who you are. They also show how recognizing your selves provides increased access to skills, talent, and creativity; enhanced energy; and improved healing and pain management. Appreciating your diverse selves will give you more empathy toward yourself and others. By harmonizing your symphony of selves, you can learn to be “in the right mind at the right time” more often.

Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again - our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness and our unconscious beliefs and fears.

Hugh van Cuylenburg was a primary school teacher volunteering in northern India when he had a life-changing realisation: despite the underprivileged community the children were from, they were remarkably positive. By contrast, back in Australia Hugh knew that all too many children struggled with depression, social anxieties and mental illness. His own little sister had been ravaged by anorexia nervosa. How was it that young people he knew at home, who had food, shelter, friends and a loving family, struggled with their mental health, while these kids seemed so contented and resilient?

Publisher's Summary
A Life Changing Program for Personal Growth!
How you feel about yourself crucially affects virtually every aspect of your life, especially how high in life you are likely to rise. Who and what you think you are shape all your responses. Self-esteem, therefore, becomes the key to success or failure. It is also the key to understanding yourself and others.
In this outstanding audio program, the pioneering psychotherapist, Dr. Nathaniel Branden, details for you - in easy-to-understand language - the action, both mental and physical, you can take to advance your self-esteem and he self-esteem of others. His recommended strategies for building self-esteem have been thoroughly tested with the many thousands he has helped during his 30 years as a psychotherapist.
You learn specific exercises and behaviors that will raise your self-esteem. You discover how to:
- Experience more joy in the sheer fact of being.
- Implement the four-step process that frees you from guilt.
- Gain insightful information that usually lies beyond your ordinary consciousness.
- Enhance your chances of forming relationships that are nourishing instead of destructive.
- “Live consciously” - the foundation for self-respect and self-confidence.
- Become more innovative, rather than ritualistic or tradition-bound, in your work.
- Expand the creative and spiritual areas of your life
- And much, much more!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Best self development book I've found
I read some of the negative reviews and decided not to take them too seriously as they might be written by people who did not apply the lesson, negative people tend to give bad reviews. Personally I could not get enough, driving and listening there were absolute jaw dropping revelations about myself I'd never thought of. I was completely blown away by how truly being honest with myself and learning more about who I am. Every part of me needed to hear this. In two days of this information I already see much more clearly the war I have been in with myself, and how to make peace within thank you for making this book available on audio, it's the only time I've got to read is when I'm on the move. I loved the music, the exercises and the patients listen and do the writing exercises and this will change your life!

Get the book instead
Would you try another book from Nathaniel Branden and/or Nathaniel Branden?
Maybe a book. Not an "audio book" though.
What didn’t you like about Nathaniel Branden’s performance?
Nathaniel Branden's performance was OK. Some things he said were said a bit weirdly, but overall he was ok.But I have to agree with another reviewer of...... no one else should've spoke during this. Everyone's "performance" was awful. Honestly every time I heard someone else speak, I skipped ahead 30 seconds until I heard Nathaniel's voice again.
Any additional comments?
I hate that this has so many moments where you just listen to 80's synth music for up to a minute.
-----
This would be better as a book. I like to listen to audio books only in a car or while working on something.... yet there are numerous times where he says: "Ok now write down this, and finish this sentence five times. And write this down, and this, and this, and this, and this, now this, now journal that," etc etc. Buy the book and forget this version.
-----
I feel like I could've done without having so many "examples" of issues people. It felt like there were too many, and the segments lasted too long... especially with how AWFUL the performance was. And then some seemed kind of...... weird and fake. Such as the man who found himself lusting after his neighbor's wife and was fantasizing about cheating with her on his wife for almost a year, and then realized: "Oh I'm not attracted to her and don't want to have sex with her or anything like that, I'm just unhappy with my job! I never realized I didn't like my career before!" That one felt incredibly fake, or at least stretched.
-----
A lot of these things just seemed... unhelpful. The first 3 chapters seemed to be "pay attention in life and don't act like a victim." Then one chapter was a "hypnotism" where he wanted you to imagine finding your inner child standing next to a tree, then you needed to write out tons of answers of what you were doing at different ages of your life.
---------
As an audio book I'd give this 1.5/5. As an actual self help book........ maybe a 2.5/5. A lot of the help in this seems more like it would only help someone that was very broken. Possibly something you've give to someone in AA or NA struggling to beat addiction.

Too many sentence stems
Where does The Psychology of High Self-Esteem rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I really liked the knowledge in this book. I didn't like the sentence stems - I prefer to listen and learn, rather than to stop and do the practical exercises.
Would you be willing to try another book from Nathaniel Branden? Why or why not?
For sure, Nathaniel really appeared to know what he was talking about. Someone who has practiced a lot and has learnt much that he is willing to share.
What does Nathaniel Branden bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I don't think he brings much.
What did you learn from The Psychology of High Self-Esteem that you would use in your daily life?
The interrelationship between behaviour, self beliefs and self esteem. I will be seeing behaviours as indicators of self esteem, and attempting to practice better behaviours.

Simply The Best.....accept no substitute.
I first read Nathaniel Branden's work in 1984. I have since read other books with self esteem in the title, most of which were along the lines of ... 'you can only have self esteem ..... if other people like you...' and this, writtten, sometimes explicitly, sometimes hidden. I realise that some people need the approval of others, almost like an addiction, or a child's need, but theirs is a mind set to be overcome. Brandon writes for adults, seeking adult solutions, not spoilt brat evasives looking for some collective social cult to belong to. Brandon writes clear, exact, fact oriented, well thought out, practical material that relates to the issue in hand. It's great stuff, and has helped me, in my journey through life to live and improve my social and motivational skills in many areas. I can't recommend his writing highly enough. It's Excellent.
