Self-improvement cannot occur without positive self-esteem. For cognitive therapist Walter Riso, author of some of the most influential psychological books in recent years, loving oneself is a prerequisite for developing our potential as individuals. Not only does it contribute to inner growth, but it becomes a key to happiness and well-being. However, that’s not all: it also represents the benchmark that enables us to love others and to be loved. This book, the newly revised edition of the classic Aprendiendo a querarse a sí mismo, is aimed at those who have negative self-esteem and believe they are unworthy of appreciation and incapable of achieving great things. Riso invites us, without shame, to recognize the strengths and virtues we possess, our worth as individuals, and our rights to love and to be loved.
