Self Esteem: You Don't Need a Workbook, You Need a Change of Perspective. Stop Looking for Ten Steps and Start Changing Your Life
Sometimes you feel like you are addicted to hating yourself. Your whole life, you have had the people around you invalidate you and treat you like crap. Parents, friends, random passersby-everyone has an opinion and most of them aren't good. You've even started to judge yourself negatively-or maybe you've been treating you like crap for a long time.
I've been there. I know what it is like to worry that you aren't good enough or to struggle with the sense of inadequacy. I know what it is like to feel like you have to prove yourself at every turn and yet know that you will never measure up.
This book is a collection of what I've learned in the difficult, slow process of growing up and learning to love myself.
I'll tell you the secret right away: you are worth it. You are worthwhile. You deserve to be happy, no matter what you do and no matter how successful you are.

Self Discipline: You are the Hero You've Been Waiting For
There are a lot of books on self-discipline and most of them promise to change your life in ten easy steps. This is not that book.
I've been in a place where I didn't love myself and I didn't have any self-discipline. I slept until noon, ate badly, and wasn't achieving anything I wanted to do. The difference only came when I had a sincere understanding of my calling and what I wanted to do with my life.
The thing all those other books get wrong is that the most important task is to get a clear sense of what drives you and what those long terms goals should be. What gives meaning to your life? Why should you do all the hard work that being self-discipline takes?
This book guides you through the process of becoming self-reliant and free, helping you develop the mental patterns for creating meaning and purpose in your life. This book doesn't make grand promises, but it does give you an argument that will help you understand how you can be the master of your own destiny and be happy, no matter what your circumstance.
- Learn why you should be thankful for your undisciplined past, as hard as it has been
- Recognize that you are the hero you have been waiting for and the only person you need for happiness is you
