On the Wings of Self Esteem

On the Wings of Self Esteem

"It seems as though humans have a reverse metamorphosis. We start out as beautiful butterflies, then are turned into ugly caterpillars. We spend the rest of our lives trying to remember and become the beautiful creatures we once were."So said a friend to Dr. Louise Hart several years ago. Struck with the poignancy of this observation, Dr. Hart decided to write a book that would help us become butterflies again. Her purpose is to help us recover and access the qualities that every human being possesses at birth: truthfulness, openness, curiosity, and creativity. The author explores three main stages of personal transformation: reaching in, reaching out, and reaching high. By engaging in these stages we learn to listen to ourselves, accept ourselves, set personal boundaries, and set goals. Reviews: "A wonderful book! It contains timeless insights, deep psychological truths presented in a simple yet profound way, and practical exercises you can begin to do today to create the quality of life you desire and deserve. If everyone in America read this book and did the recommended exercises, half of all the pain and suffering we currently experience would disappear."-Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul"Reflects practical wisdom based on a blending of compassion and experience.
