Building Sound Self-Esteem

SELF-ESTEEM IS THE KEY "We can’t escape the effect self-esteem has on our lives," says Robert McGarey, M.A., Executive Director of the Austin nonprofit Human Potential Center. "Romance, money, jobs and family relationships are profoundly influenced by our feelings about ourselves. Our self-confidence either improves our life or damages it. When we build sound self-esteem, we boost our satisfaction with life, improve our psychological health and emotional resiliency, and completely transform our relationships. It’s the cornerstone on which all other aspects of psychological health are built."
