Get the Self-Esteem Habit

by Christine Webber

Suffering from low self-esteem can negatively impact our lives in countless ways. Whether it's holding us back from seeing our own worth, stopping us from excelling at work or affecting our relationships, it's something that we can all experience. In Get the Self-Esteem Habit, psychotherapist Christine Webber explains the possible causes of our low self-esteem, and gives us practical and inspiring ways to overcome it.

About the author

Biog

Christine Webber originally trained as an opera singer but had to re-think her career plans when her voice professor commented: ‘Your voice is ok, but your legs are very much better!’
Musical theatre beckoned. There was some success. But not much.
However, eventually, in 1978, she became a news presenter for Anglia TV. At last she had found something she enjoyed that other people thought she was good at. It was such a relief that she stayed for 12 very happy years. Towards the end of that period, her first novel, In Honour Bound, was published.
Next, she became an agony aunt for various publications including TV Times, Best, Dare and BBC Parenting. She also wrote a column for the Scotsman and one for Woman called Sexplanations.
During her ‘problem page’ years, she also trained as a psychotherapist and started a small practice in Harley Street, where she still works.
She has written 12 non-fiction books including How to Mend a Broken Heart and Get the Happiness Habit. But finally, she has returned to her original love of writing fiction with Who’d Have Thought It?
She says: ‘Mid-life women are so fascinating. Having explored their hopes, fears, insecurities and options in my book for female baby boomers, ‘Too Young to Get Old’ I thought it would be fun to fictionalise what I had learned. This book is the result.’

Reviews

[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is well written in a warm and accessible style which is well thought out and takes the reader through stages logically and ultimately helps them realise that low self esteem is a habit which can and should be addressed and overcome.

I've read a few of these types of book over the years and whilst there is nothing new in this one, for readers who have never purchased this type of book or looked on line for help, it should prove useful.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review 6/10

Good book teaching you steps to become more aware of your own thoughts, how they influence your self-esteem, and how to work to correct them.
