I believe this is actually a book that is 5 or 6 years old and it appears to me that this author doesn’t really understand what self-esteem is if he believes it can be altered in 10 days.

I would not recommend this book to people who are suffering from low self-esteem. As another review mentioned, this is like a “for Dummies” book. Burns treats his readers like dummies. Some of the instructions are degrading. People with low self esteem are not necessarily dumb, you know.
However, people who are on the late stage of recovering from low self esteem might find this book somewhat useful.

This book came to me highly recommended by a good source with whom I hate to disagree; however, I found that the author spends too much time concentrating on the negative aspects of life and not enough time talking about the positive. I can’t speak for others; but, as for me, this would never work.

Books like this one are very damaging to those who really suffer from low self-esteem. After reading it, they are even more discouraged because the book trivializes their problems and as well as the seriousness of low self-esteem. Anyone who truly understands what low self-esteem is, knows you cannot recover from it in a few days, weeks, or even months. This book should be for people who are merely temporarily or situationally discouraged–it really has nothing to do with self-esteem.
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE DR. BURNS WROTE THIS BOOK!

I haven’t read the book but reading the intro was already too much for me. I AM medicated, and to read that I could be cured “without medication” was quite offensive to me. It sounds as though the writer is suggesting that there is something wrong with taking meds (other wise why would it be highlighted as a positive that you could do without?)
I have enough issues about judging myself without some author already thowing such an ignorant statement out there. I don’t feel that reading one word further of his work would make me feel better about myself in the slightest.
