Saying Yes to Myself

If you are not yourself, who will be? –Henry David Thoreau



You are unique and wonderful. But perhaps it is sometimes difficult for you to say "yes" to yourself, because you also see your limits and weaknesses. In this book, you will discover what makes up healthy self-esteem and how you can move step-by-step to more self-acceptance and find enjoyment in yourself.



Questions and behavior suggestions help you to practically implement the things you've read. The book inspires and accompanies you in your learning process with four motivations per day: a concise quote, stimulating food for thought, a provocative question and a practical stimulus.



Ideal for all those who would like to love themselves more.
