What are you worth?: On the miscalculation of self-value
Nobody wakes up one morning and decides they're worth less. It happens more quietly than that.
A softer answer. A lower price. An extra hour you don't bill. Each decision looks reasonable - polite, even. Over time, those small discounts compound into a smaller life.
From the outside you look reliable, easy, low-drama. From the inside you're negotiating against yourself in conversations where no one else was even negotiating.
This isn't about confidence or positive thinking. It's about miscalculation - using the wrong ruler on yourself for decades and never questioning the numbers.
Drawing on behavioral psychology and everyday work life, What Are You Worth? shows how childhood adaptations harden into adult identity, how "personality" is often just outdated survival strategy, and why most attempts at self-improvement fail: they try to replace behavior without seeing the mechanism that produces it.
No hype. No reinvention. No "you are worth it."
Just one idea: stop negotiating against yourself.
The rest follows.
