Honoring the Self: The Psychology of Confidence and Respect by Nathaniel Branden

Honoring the Self: The Psychology of Confidence and Respect

5 out of 5 stars *****

Nathaniel Branden writes and narrates an honest objective psychological book about self. Honoring the Self: The Psychology of Confidence and Respect begins with an explanation about self-esteem and its importance in one's life, especially for success in business and personal relationships. An ability to feel good about oneself promotes a healthy ego, friendships, and love interests. He also explains how fear of being emotionally hurt impedes the natural maturation of one's self, career, and sense of belonging. The author intends to show that love and respect of oneself is the core purpose for writing this educational piece that encompasses his body of work in the field. 

He recommends that the book be reread as many times as it takes to absorb the full impact of the lessons he expertly lays out. His aim is to have readers improve themselves as happier, successful people who fear neither life nor death; to live a stable, meaningful life and to accept death as the natural end of it with no regrets.
