Sit Down, Five! A Practical Guide to Developing Healthy Self-Esteem

Improving self-esteem can be not only useless, but also dangerous. Self-esteem must be built from scratch. In this book, psychologist and founder of the “Yarko” center, Yaroslava Ryndina, explains what prevents people from achieving an adequate self-esteem. After working through several exercises and five simple steps, you’ll get rid of emotional swings between extremes like “I’m great—I’m worth nothing,” and you’ll stop judging your feelings as “right—wrong.” Full of humor and optimism, the book will help you: - abandon the thought “It’ll never work for me”; - stop giving weight to critics’ opinions; - learn to set honest, adult boundaries; - reconnect with your body and understand its signals; - learn how to develop healthy self-esteem in a child.
