About this title

About the Author:

With a PhD in psychology, and a background in philosophy, Nathaniel Branden is a practicing psychotherapist and a corporate consultant, and is widely recognized as the world authority on self-esteem, a field he pioneered more than three decades ago. His many books include The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Taking Responsibility, Self-Esteem at Work, and A Woman's Self-Esteem. His newest book is My Years with Ayn Rand. He lives and works in Beverly Hills, California.

From Library Journal:

The quality alone of this self-help book justifies Branden's (The Psychology of Self-Esteem, LJ 2/1/70; The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, LJ 2/1/94) status as an expert on the subject of self-esteem. Here he further examines the role that self-esteem plays in how one accepts responsibility for one's actions. Clearly and concisely, Branden gives good examples of specific areas of concern, such as parental problems or problems with work. Sound advice is dispensed in both psychological and sociological terms. Most readers looking for a good self-help volume will find this one useful. Recommended for public libraries and subject collections.
