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.

Experience more joy in the sheer fact of being.

Enhance your chances of forming relationships that are nourishing instead of destructive.
“Live consciously” - the foundation for self-respect and self-confidence.

Maybe a book. Not an "audio book" though.
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.
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.

Sorry not for me! So boring.
Written by someone who was awake.
Anyone. His voice is so so dull.
Very boring. I wanted a book to help me with self-esteem and related anxiety issues.
Instead i got a book that QUITE LITERALLY sent me to sleep. Dull, pretentious and no help.
