<p>"I have written for you the book I wish had been available to me twenty years ago and to my mother forty years ago, and to her mother before that." That's a very different way to begin a book about parents and children, but it reflects Louise Hart's deep conviction that each generation has a powerful effect on subsequent generations. To alter or lessen this effect, parents must decide what outcomes they want and actually change what they can to bring that about. Self-esteem is a great gift that every parent can give to or develop with their children. This comprehensive and supportive book offers a new, hopeful model for families, one characterized by joy and satisfaction.

<p>"It seems as though humans have a reverse metamorphosis. We start out as beautiful butterflies, then are turned into ugly caterpillars. We spend the rest of our lives trying to remember and become the beautiful creatures we once were."So said a friend to Dr. Louise Hart several years ago. Struck with the poignancy of this observation, Dr. Hart decided to write a book that would help us become butterflies again. Her purpose is to help us recover and access the qualities that every human being possesses at birth: truthfulness, openness, curiosity, and creativity. The author explores three main stages of personal transformation: reaching in, reaching out, and reaching high. By engaging in these stages we learn to listen to ourselves, accept ourselves, set personal boundaries, and set goals. Reviews: "A wonderful book! It contains timeless insights, deep psychological truths presented in a simple yet profound way, and practical exercises you can begin to do today to create the quality of life you desire and deserve. If everyone in America read this book and did the recommended exercises, half of all the pain and suffering we currently experience would disappear."-Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul"Reflects practical wisdom based on a blending of compassion and experience. Here is a valuable book, indeed. A significant book on an important topic." -Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior"I certainly didn't think such a little book would have such a big impact on my thoughts about myself and others, but it did! I've read a lot of things on self-esteem, and this was the first book which really helped me CHANGE my self-esteem."-Anonymous Amazon Reviewer"On the Wings of Self-Esteem is an elegant little book that teaches about self-esteem: how it is lost, how to regain it, and how to keep it. Beautifully crafted and a pleasure to read. My clients love it!"-Ani Liggett, Ph.D. Marriage and Family Therapist"The best self-esteem book on the market. I have had at least 35 clients use this book. Every single one has loved it!"-Ginger, therapist, Amazon Reviewer"A wonderful collection of wisdom presented in simple lyrical language. Exactly what our society so desperately needs right now. This beautiful book soars, taking the reader to new heights of potential health. It makes a giant contribution that will help stamp out the alienation and anger in our culture. Should be required reading."-Dr. Patricia Palmer, therapist &amp; author of Liking Myself; The Mouse, the Monster, and Me; Teen Esteem; I Wish I Could Hold Your Hand"A wonderful book on self-esteem that is practical, uplifting and transforming."-Jerry Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love is Letting Go of Fear"A little gem! Keep pushing the great treasure of self-esteem.
