The long-awaited fourth edition of Matthew McKay's best-selling classic book, Self-Esteem, is the guide for those who wish to enhance their sense of self-esteem. This fully revised new edition includes innovative applications of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to self-esteem and uses updated methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help readers create positive changes and thrive.

Circumstances and condition can affect self-esteem - many factors can contribute to how we see ourselves - but the common factor that all people struggling with low self-esteem have is our thoughts. Naturally, we all have better chances of feeling good about ourselves when things go well, but it is really the interpretation of our circumstances that can cause problems, no matter what they are.

This revised and updated fourth edition of the best-seller Self-Esteem uses proven effective CBT methods and relevant factors of ACT to help you increase your self-esteem by working on how you interpret your life. You will learn how to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy self-esteem, how to discover and analyze negative statements about yourself, and how to create new, more objective, and positive statements that will support your self-esteem instead of undermining it.

With cutting-edge material for moving away from negative thoughts and values, you will learn how to leave behind critical and self-destructive thoughts and act according to what matters most to you, enhancing your sense of self-esteem. If you are looking for ways to improve your self-esteem, this new edition of Self-Esteem, packed with evidence-based suggestions and techniques, has everything you need to improve how you see yourself and achieve better overall well-being.
