regarding self esteem
"Honoring the Self" by Nathaniel Branden. It reads a bit like a text book (which I prefer to someone who is all over the place but doesn't say anything like Dr. Phil - sorry Dr. Phil fans :() but is right on the money. It's a really in depth look at what makes up our self esteem and self worth and that we can actually change. It's a small little book costs about seven bucks. :)
