"Self-Esteem is truly a very special title. Good writing is
especially necessary for self-help titles. ... I feel a special
enthusiasm in bringing it to the notice of our audience."
--The Midwest Book Review
"McKay and Fanning recognize the complexity of the human tendency
toward self-criticism. Their carefully written, cognitively
oriented self-help book wisely avoids simplistic solutions,
offering instead a systematic approach to self-esteem
development."
--Robert E. Alberti, PhD, author of Your Perfect Right

McKay and Fanning's book offers us a valuable storehouse of tactics
and strategies for constructing--or renovating--the foundation of
our self-esteem."
