If You Really Knew Me, Would You Still Like Me?

by Eugene Kennedy

Book Overview

Many self-improvement books treat people as though they could be put together in segments. But we don't live in segments and don't improve much by concentrating on just one aspect of life. The author suggests that we start by learning to like ourselves. Mr. Kennedy points out a developmental process, through which we get to know ourselves, identify strengths and weaknesses and build self-esteem by building our strengths.

Self Esteem Tackled

My mother was always trying to "cure" me as a child to turn from being an independent, attention-getting terror to her version of a tollerable human being. This is one of the books she foisted upon me in 1976. While it didn't change my life, it did effect my attitude. The books examines how we feel about ourselves and how we judge ourselves by what others say and do and what we presume they think about us. It takes the whole self esteem issue and tackles it head on. Twenty-five years later this book is still on my bookshelf. It means more to me now, even though it is good for teens. When we really stop to look inside of ourselves, do we like what we find? If not, why should we expect others to like us? The book examines our value system and how to learn to like ourselves.If you need a good, easy to read book that tackles self esteem issues, especially for a teen or young adult, this is a quick read and I highly recommend it.
