 Starting
from the solid base of objectivist rationality, Mr Branden explains the
meaning of our most fundamental moral responsibility, which is to live
consciously. It also is the only way to develop a consistent , free of
contradictions view of ourselves and the context in which we seek to live.
For a broader treatment you need to dig deep into the Six Pillars of
Self-Esteem, for sharper focus he has given us two: one on accepting
responsibility and his latest on sustaining an active consciousness.

 The
author of the classic The Psychology of Self-Esteem--now in its 30th
printing--offers a guide to self-realization through self-reliance--a
vision of a society transformed by a new ethical individualism. "A
brilliant, readable, and profoundly important discussion of the pillars of
a free society and the life well lived."--Tom Peters.
Arguing that people can have control over their lives only if they
take responsibility for themselves, a guide to self-realization and
self-esteem explains the difference between victim power and personal
power.

 What
makes Nathaniel Branden different from many of his peers is his very
rational objective approach to psychology. From this philosophical basis
Dr Branden has developed a fascinating insight into what self esteem
actually is and how one develops it (or fails to!) Excellent
chapters on death anxiety, self sacrifice and the society appropriate to
the development of self esteem round off the best book in the genre I've
read (with the exception of The Six Pillars of Self Esteem by the same
author)

 British
philosopher Colin Wilson calls Nathaniel Branden the foremost psychologist
of our age and this wonderful book confirms that evaluation. Branden
explains the driving force behind all business innovation and productivity
and then gives you a practical process to build your own self-esteem at
work. This book should be required reading for anyone in a business that
has two or more people in it.

 Most
of the book's chapters are expanded versions of articles Branden published
in New Woman magazine in the early 90s. While many of the book's themes
will of course apply to men as well as women, Branden's primary focus is
on the challenges facing women: How to embrace their own strengths when
doing so may not be fashionable, how to be assertive in a job or in a
relationship, how to keep appropriate boundaries.
