The founder of OrganicBeautySource.com interviewed me about how self esteem relates to beauty.  Here's a sample:

Can those who have lower self esteem build it?
Absolutely!  As adults, we are in charge of our self-esteem.  In my book —On the Wings of Self-Esteem— I discuss many, many ways to do that.

What are the best ways to do that?
Perhaps the most important way is to become aware of your self-talk, the inner commentary on everything in life.  Once you notice the negative talk – the “stinkin’ thinking” – you can begin to talk differently, to encourage yourself and become your own best friend.  It’s a long-term undertaking that begins with paying attention, with becoming aware, with becoming more positive and uplifting.  With awareness comes choice.

From Crazed Mind Reviewer

My self-esteem is not the best. I put on a great face of being open and brave, but inside I quake in my boots. I grew up with a troubled childhood that taught me to fear, hate and harm myself.  Improving my self-esteem is one of the most important things I can do to develop the courage to make good lifestyle decisions, set boundaries and even lose weight. I learn more and more that loosening the grip of the past, is the way to grow within myself.

The award winning artist, Sue Rama wrote: "I have had the privilege of redesigning and illustrating this very wise book that has been helping children to learn to live more sanely for a generation. Not a fluffy feel-good book, this is the real deal, training children to  recognize, manage, and talk about their feelings. I think it would be wonderful if all children got to study these useful instructions for life on earth.
