If your self-esteem is based solely on performance\u2014if you view yourself as someone who\u2019s worthy only<\/i> when you\u2019re performing well or acknowledged as doing a good job\u2014the way you feel about yourself will always depend on external factors. Your self-esteem affects everything you do, so if you feel unworthy or your confidence is shaped by others, it can be a huge problem.<\/p>\n
With this second edition of The Self-Esteem Workbook<\/i>, you\u2019ll learn to see yourself through loving eyes by realizing that you are inherently worthy, and that comparison-based self-criticism is not a true measure of your value.
