The Psychology of Self-Esteem

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society by one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene. This edition includes two articles by Ayn Rand which did not appear in the hardcover edition: The Wreckage of the Consensus," which presents the Objectivists views on Vietnam and the draft; and Requiem for Man," an answer to the Papal encyclical Progresso Populorum.

A father of the self-esteem movement explains to readers his principles for dramatically increasing their awareness and their ability to make conscious choices in a time when old traditions are not always there to fall back on. 35,000 first printing.

My Years with Ayn Rand

Courage, Confidence, Success: They Begin with Self-Esteem-and Self-Esteem Begins with You! Of all the judgments you make in life, none is as important as the one you make about yourself. The difference between low self-esteem and high self-esteem is the difference between passivity and action, between failure and success. Now, one of America's foremost psychologists and a pioneer in self-esteem development offers a step-by-step guide to strengthening your sense of self-worth. Here are simple, straightforward and effective techniques that will dramatically improve the way you think and feel about yourself. You'll learn: * How to break free of negative self-concepts and self-defeating behavior * How to dissolve internal barriers to success in work and love * How to overcome anxiety, depression, guilt and anger * How to conquer the fear of intimacy and success * How to find-and keep-the courage to love yourself * And much more.

How to Raise Your Self-esteem

Self-concept is destiny What is the most important judgement you will ever make? The judgement you pass on yourself. Self-esteem is the key to success or failure. Tell me how a person judges his or her self-esteem, says pioneering psychologist Nathaniel Branden, and I will tell you how that person operates at work, in love, in sex, in parenting, in every important aspect of existence--and how high he or she is likely to rise. The reputation you have with yourself--your self-esteem--is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life. - How to grow in self-confidence and self-respect. - How to nurture self-esteem in children. - How to break free of guilt and fear of others' disapproval. - How to honor the self--the ethics of rational self-interest.

The Psychology of Self-esteem

Nathaniel Branden's book is the culmination of a lifetime of clinical practice and study, already hailed in its hardcover edition as a classic and the most significant work on the topic. Immense in scope and vision and filled with insight into human motivation and behavior, The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem is essential reading for anyone with a personal or professional interest in self-esteem. The book demonstrates compellingly why self-esteem is basic to psychological health, achievement, personal happiness, and positive relationships. Branden introduces the six pillars-six action-based practices for daily living that provide the foundation for self-esteem-and explores the central importance of self-esteem in five areas: the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and the culture at large. The work provides concrete guidelines for teachers, parents, managers, and therapists who are responsible for developing the self-esteem of others. And it shows why-in today's chaotic and competitive world-self-esteem is fundamental to our personal and professional power.

The Romantic Love Question & Answer Book

"In Taking Responsibility Branden delineates four goals: to illuminate the meaning and implications of self-responsibility as a way of living and of being in the world; to show that this practice is not an onerous burden but a source of joy and personal power; to establish that we create ourselves - shape our identity - through what we are willing to take responsibility for; and to demonstrate that self-responsibility, self-reliance, and individualism are essential to the well-being of our society." "Whether our goals concern career issues or love relationships, we need to understand how intimately success and happiness are tied to self-responsibility. We need to know what is up to us and what is not up to us. We need to understand that independence begins with the act of thinking - of choosing to look at the world through our own eyes - and of consciously choosing the values that will guide us, rather than uncritically accepting them from others." "The issue of self-responsibility, Branden shows, has acquired a new urgency in the modern world, in which mind work has replaced muscle work; authoritarian, hierarchical structures are giving way to more open, communicative structures; and cognitive skills are of paramount importance. Today's world needs men and women who are able and willing to think, to be self-directing and self-managing, to respond to problems proactively rather than passively waiting for someone else to "do something," to be initiators and innovators. In Taking Responsibility - Branden's most intellectually exciting work - he demonstrates not only the personal and social importance of self-reliance but the specific steps by which it may be achieved."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
