Book excerpt: Developing or regaining your self-esteem basically requires you to follow some simple steps. The first step is very essential; believe that you are as good as the next person, that you are an EQUAL equipped with ALL THE TOOLS everybody else has; a brain, a body, a spirit, and the whole nine yards. Some people think that self-esteem / confidence, courage, and other human characteristics are born with us. In other words, some people had them from birth. The fact of the matter is that all human characteristics are learned after birth. Self-esteem is a major part of any human being, he or she learns as he/she grows. This process of learning, by definition, makes self-esteem a skill that can be learned and developed. This is good news for all of us, even for the completely stripped of self-esteem or the one of us with a low self-esteem because we can develop our self-esteem like we develop any skill. For 25 years, I have been observing, interacting with people and researching their behavior. I came to the conclusion that indeed there are major differences between people who are happy and those who are unhappy, between those who are successful, and those who are not, between those who are confident and those who are always in doubt of themselves. Regain Your Self-Esteem (RYSE) is the result of these 25 years experience, which will show you how to become self confident, assertive, happy, successful, and live the rest of your life at its best. Yes, you can if you believe you can.
