Book Reviews

Boost Your Self Esteem Pete Cohen £4.99 ISBN 0 00 715497 6 Published by Element

Pete Cohen's self help book states that low self esteem is a habit, a learned behaviour that can be broken by effective strategies in 12 steps. Exercises to boost self esteem, including visualisation techniques, are simple, straight forward and easy to follow. He reinforces that 'every human being has positive worth' and whatever happens in life cannot change that. He stresses that 'truly taking care of yourself' should be the habit of a lifetime.

This book is ideal for teachers facing the rigours of Ofsted and the aftermath of Special Measures.
