It's scary stuff, but everyone should read it before they take another pill, step into another M.D.'s office, have their kids vaccinated, or agree to surgery or medical treatment.

The Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden

Branden practically invented the concept of self-esteem and was probably most responsible for promoting it in this country. His latest book is another solid effort that builds on his previous work. He defines the titular pillars as living consciously, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, living purposefully, and personal integrity, and he describes not only their importance but how to practice them. This is a balanced book--part theory, part social commentary, part self-help--that is clear, well researched, and well grounded, a valuable, credible addition to the psychological self-help shelves.
