TEN DAYS TO SELF-ESTEEM

Highly recommended for anyone who is analytical and want to understand own thoughts and patterns. Highly recommended to therapists, healers or life coaches

This book is a superb follow-up to Dr. Burns' "Feeling Good" if you read that and wanted something more.It's actually Ten Steps, because each step may take more than a day. But it's all time well spent.What this book does that is different from Feeling Good is - it gives us exercises to fill in.And the great thing is that the more committed one is to do the exercises, the more benefits one gets from working with this book. This is intensive, because so many insights start going "ka-boom" in the brain that it is quite earth-shaking just to experience that. Then one gets to work on them and change them for the better, which can also be quite intensive - basically one must be willing to think and write.So it is like going to psychotherapy. It involves working on your own thinking patterns, and also improving your own understanding about emotions and how they come about and are perpetuated.Though it is focussed work, it is wonderfully rewarding.

I order this book to help myself.Content in the book are good but quality of page is poor.It feel likes reading 1900 book with this poor quality pages.

Excelente livro

Bought this book for my partner.Helped them a LOT.Would recommend.

After reading a lot of the other reviews I will start by saying, yes the author does assume you’re not going to do the exercises in the beginning because the majority, if not all, of the people using this book have a problem with negative thinking…some worse than others, and he has to address people on every end of the spectrum while trying not lose any along the way. It’s not so distracting it deters the purpose & it actually made me more motivated to do the exercises. To each their own on that one, small potatoes.Also, some have had negative opinions of the exercises. While they do feel “extra” like it’s written for dummies, it’s probably because the behaviors we’re trying to correct with this book are pretty dumb behaviors. After living 35 years doing things my way, it took me completing 3 of the 10 steps in this “feelings for dummies” book to understand I’ve been feeling my feelings wrong and therefore inviting more negativity into my life than I wanted or needed. Just do the exercises, that’s what you bought it for.Another “challenge” was with the electronic version. I ordered two hard copies, both were commandeered by my fiancé and my teenage daughter. I ended up having to use a pdf version I found online and was able to follow along with the exercises in a spiral notebook without an issue and have actually found it to be more personal to me, like a diary.All that being said, this workbook was recommended by my therapist and gets 5 stars from me. This ended up being a family endeavor which I had not anticipated, but I’m glad it worked out that way. We were all looking to change things about our roles and dynamics within our family unit and this workbook has done exactly that. It is a commitment, we are only on step 3 after 3 weeks, but it’s not a race. If we are still working out of this book 2 years from now, I believe we will be a more loving and functional family because of it. I found it has given us common ground and more constructive things to talk about rather than blaming or judging each other. Coupled with some personal counseling, this book has been exactly what we needed so far. It’s cheap enough to just give it a try and see what happens.

Lo recomiendo
