âą building self-esteem â how to do it
Many people are dissatisfied with themselves, their self-esteem has hit a low: they just cannot manage to be the way they should be. But they can also not be what they would like to be â this can be extremely stressful. How can we manage successfully to strengthen our self-esteem, build up a âhealthyâ self-esteem and consolidate it?
This self-help book guides us towards this goal. It is based on the model in which humans have three perceptions:
âą I-am â this is how I really am
âą I-should â this is how I actually should be
âą I-wish â this is how I would like to be
If these three self-images do not match, self-esteem problems crop up.
The explanations are lively and scientifically well-founded and help to become acquainted with these forms of the ego and explore them. Lots of exercises help to correct the âI-amâ ego, to reduce the power of the strong âI-shouldâ ego and gradually achieve a realistic âI-wishâ.
