Nathaniel Brandens Self-Esteem Every Day: Reflections on Self-Esteem and Spirituality

Branden offers self-esteem and related insights as a daily psychological booster shot, from a non-metaphysical perspective. No God, higher power or higher self invoked. Whether you believe in Objectivism or anything close to it, or not, because of the non-metaphysical stance, this is a good book for the non-religious types seeking personal growth, recovery work or whatever.

I found the insights very helpful in bringing "aha" thoughts to light. I especially thought the section found in "August" readings good. These readings dealt with inner integrity and congruence. The section that shared on "romantic love" was also very challenging and insightful. These readings confront and strip self deception to one that is open and seeking growth. I recommend this book. The opening section titled "Self-Esteem as a Spiritual Discipline" is excellent. This book is acollection from various writings of Branden.

This pocketbook is a handy and convenient tool which aids in helping one improve their self-esteem through daily reflection. The concepts presented facilitate positive change as they draw one's mind (back) into focus. Very helpful.
