Reviews
"Cheryl Bradshaw has written an engaging, powerful, and easy-to-read book in How to Like Yourself. To help teens combat their inner critic, she provides a step-by-step plan using proven-effective cognitive strategies. Her honest and genuine approach normalizes struggles with confidence and self-esteem, and makes it easy to work through the material. It's as though she is in the room with you!" —Sheri Turrell, PhD, registered psychologist in Toronto, ON, Canada, with over twenty years of experience in mental health, and coauthor of ACT for Adolescents
"In this addition to the Instant Help Solutions series, Bradshaw, a professional counselor, acknowledges that self-esteem doesn't necessarily come naturally and often needs to be cultivated. Writing in an intimate and friendly tone, she discusses how negative self-images arise and how to break the thought patterns that lead to low self-esteem, without painting a too-rosy view of the world. … Exercises designed to help readers identify, disrupt, and restructure the ways they view themselves and others offer concrete tactics for those looking to make change in their lives." —Publishers Weekly
"Teens and young adults who are looking for practical, constructive tips to help them navigate life will enjoy Cheryl Bradshaw's How to Like Yourself. It's fun, easy to read, and upbeat—almost like having an extended conversation with your own mental health coach. The author's unique combination of professional training and experiences working with emerging adults, together with her energy and love of life, shine through on every page." —Eric Windeler, father, full-time advocate for youth mental health, and founder and executive director of www.jack.org
