A well structured, meticulously researched book that everyone should read
This is a very thorough and positive book by Raphael Dume that will be helpful to anyone who reads it.
It starts with what is low self esteem and how it could develop from childhood. It then goes onto picking your values and role models intelligently and how low self esteem can affect mental health.
An easy and interesting read that would be useful to anybody interested in the subject.

‘Self-esteem is a flower that only blooms when you water it’
New Jersey author Raphael Dume is a researcher, entrepreneur and investor who has helped many people to improve self-esteem, resilience, happiness, optimism to not only reduce incipient depression, anxiety and anger but to enhance feelings of self-worth and happiness,
In his Introductory comments he opens by defining self-esteem: ‘Self-esteem is a confidence on has in his own abilities and worthiness…Self-esteem fits right in to the fourth layer on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, a famous psychological too indicating what people need the most. The most basic needs, food, shelter, and water sit at the bottom; and nest comes esteem. The only thing greater than self-esteem is the attainment of self a-actualization, when on uses his abilities o their full capacity and lives up to his full potential. Maslow’s high rating of self-esteem shows that it is quite important for people to develop in order to have good lives. A person who has met all five needs in the Maslow pyramid is thought to be a very happy person indeed.’
Raphael relates his ideas in a near conversational manner, a factor that makes reading (and benefiting from) his book a pleasure rather than an assignment. He offers sections on how to raise self-esteem, the importance of self-image, emotional intelligence (self-discipline, cognitive dissonance), worthy goals, the importance of role models, characteristics of successful people, and how to implement these into our lives. His guidance is practical and applicable and his manner of sharing accessible. ‘Abandon your insecurities, forgive yourself, create a better lifestyle and start to align your values with you way of life.’
Solid guidance from man committed to making the world a better place – starting with self. Very helpful guide and one that is applicable to us all.

Self-confidence 101 is necessary reading for anyone who is depressed, feeling lost, or who wants to improve his or her life. The author uses simple language that is easy to understand and goes from theory into ways to put his techniques into action. There are references to philosophers, such as Jung, William James, et al. I was particularly interested in what the author calls “terror management theory,” which I’d never heard of before. Apparently, it has a protective function that keeps people away from negative feelings. I also really liked the section on the often detrimental impact of TV and social media; it is arguably harder to create self-esteem and self-motivation when confronted with bullies, mean comments, and content that makes a person feel inferior (such as perfect-looking models). There is also an interesting section on what parents should do to help their children foster self-esteem and another on prioritizing values (to the point of creating a list). I recommend this book.

There is a lot of general psychological information covered in Self-Confidence 101: How to Overcome Self-Doubt and Begin to Influence Your Inner Self and Others by Raphael Dume. He first defines self-esteem and what exactly it is. The author also explains different characteristics of a person with low self-esteem. Backing it all up is examples of work by men who have studied this topic and people.
I was initially interested in how to build self-confidence in others when I bought Raphael Dume’s book, Self-Confidence 101. I ended up with more information about this subject than I originally sought. At one point I felt he missed the mark, or I overlooked the key solution what clicked with me. I know how to shield myself from low self-esteem but how do I transfer it to my children. This is a good book which is helpful to understand low self-esteem in self, others, and signs of someone who needs help.

Like yourself first and advice yourself first!
The book is a self-confidence booster and focusses on raising self-esteem on various angles – be the person you are, motivate and like yourself, know your values, will power, self-assessment, self awareness, prioritize your values and brand, have role models, manage your values, failures and relationship. Self-esteem is the key and once that is controlled it leads to better success in business, work life, relationship and in life. Like yourself and value yourself in right way and the world will follow.
