Esteemable Acts: 10 Actions for Building Real Self Esteem

Francine Ward pulled herself out of a drug and alcohol haze to push herself through recovery and on to become a hugely successful lawyer and sought-after speaker. She has worked with groups all over the US, teaching the simple idea that real self-esteem comes from action, not just repeating affirmations. In Esteemable Acts, Francine challenges the idea that self-esteem is where you must begin if you want to live a happy life. Instead, she suggests that self-esteem is what happens to you along the way. So, if you are willing to walk through your fears you can realise your dreams; if you take care of your body, it'll take care of you; if you want financial freedom start with a plan; strive for excellence, not perfection and self-esteem improvement will be guaranteed. Francine is a relentless self-promoter and has hired a publicist to start work a year in advance of publication. Her determination, charisma and strong, practical, positive message will make this book a huge success for her.
