This is a good one. This step-by-step method couldn’t be simpler. I really can’t find anything wrong with this book, which is surprising considering my internal critic is excellent in finding fault with a whole array of things.
Tangible steps with compassionate insightful guidance – highly recommend! April 23, 2022 By Maia
Her non-judgmental and experienced tone makes facing the work easier. If you take the time to work through these steps, even if you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you can uncover some limiting beliefs and saboteurs that are disguised as personality. I’ve felt a notable shift in how I speak to myself or jump to defensive stories. Approachable and effective if you are willing to do the work.

Very rightly said when the author states, “Once you start accepting yourself, you gradually stop worrying what others think and become more spontaneous and natural.” The whole idea is to “never disown yourself” regardless of the criticism and carve your own niche in society. Do read it!
A Gentle Introduction to Raising Self-Esteem – Everyone Should Read Aug 21, 2023 By a UK customer
I would recommend the book to everyone to read. I found it easy to read, and particularly found the chapters on identifying the critical voice and then changing or encouraging it to be a more positive and encouraging voice really very helpful. I liked the suggestion that the critical voice is trying to help but has somehow lost its way a bit. Even though it is a short book I read it over a few weeks and the ideas and suggestions in it, like cheering myself on, as much as I would cheer on a good friend felt like a bit of a culture change for me but I am getting there.
Effective Insights, Reminders, and A Practical Path to Self-Esteem August 6, 2014 By a customer
I highly recommend this book. Potential benefits include healthier relationships, success in business, and improved emotional health. Following Darlene Lancer’s Ten Steps to Self-Esteem will increase self-esteem. It offers a minimum of theory and explanation with a maximum of practical steps. For me, however, the book’s value went beyond that. The idea of treating a self-critic as another person, turning an adversary into a friend and coach, was a new idea for me. So was recognizing a self critic as potentially a well-intentioned entity that needed understanding and compassion. I think the most important aspect of Lancer’s advice for dealing with a self-critic is to evaluate the critic’s criticism. What I learned from Lancer is that rhymes “integrate the brain’s right and left hemispheres to enhance holistic brain function.” I also learned that adding memory can “stimulate emotion and evoke alpha and theta non-ordinary brain waves that increase memory and learning.”
