Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden

Product Details

About the Book

Nearly every psychological problem — from anxiety and depression to self-sabotage at work or school, from fear of intimacy to chronic hostility — is traceable to low self-esteem. Immense in scope and vision and filled with insight into human motivation and behavior, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem is the culmination of Dr. Nathaniel Branden's decades-long clinical practice and research, considered by its publishers as his definitive statement on the subject after more than a dozen earlier books, including The Psychology of Self-Esteem and How to Raise Your Self-Esteem.

At the heart of the book, Branden introduces the six pillars — six action-based practices for daily living that provide the foundation for self-esteem: the practice of living consciously, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, living purposefully, and personal integrity. Rather than treating self-esteem as unconditional self-love, Branden argues that what a person does is the most important factor determining their self-esteem, offering detailed explanations and practical exercises for cultivating each pillar. The book further explores the central importance of self-esteem across five key areas — the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and the culture at large — providing concrete guidelines for teachers, parents, managers, and therapists responsible for nurturing the self-esteem of others, and making the case that in today's chaotic and competitive world, self-esteem is fundamental to both personal and professional power.

Critical Reception

Dennis Waitley, Ph.D., author of The Psychology of Winning, called Branden's pillars brilliant, laser-focused, and critically relevant, offering a lifelong set of foundations for building families, schools, and businesses. While the book has also received some negative reviews from certain critics questioning aspects of its methodology, it remains widely regarded as an influential and foundational text that has shaped decades of discussion on personal growth and self-esteem.
