Someone with healthy self-worth is more likely to have better coping skills, greater resilience and the ability to maintain long-term positive mental health.

He looks at history, philosophy, economics, art, and politics - and reveals the many ingenious ways that great minds have overcome their worries. The result is a book that is not only entertaining and thought-provoking - but genuinely wise and helpful as well.
