What's the gist of the premise? 370 pages for a list of six items seems a bit inflated (forgive my judgment but am a slow reader and love efficiency)
6 Pillars Of Self-Esteem. This was a HN recommendation. I’ve been doing the sentence completion exercises for about 6 months, and it’s been astounding to palpably feel my self-awareness increase.
The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem. Even if you think you already have high self-esteem, there's no such thing as too much self-esteem. Someone here on HN first made me aware of it. It's such a great framework for self improvement.
I’m way more honest about my values and whether my actions align with those values. When there’s an inconsistency between my actions and values I either realize that the value is not actually a priority and I have the peace of mind to let it go, or I’m motivated to change my actions to align with my values.
I find it's also affecting me day to day, in a positive way, which is something books like this have never really done in the past.
