Discover The Virtue of Inner Strength by renowned self-esteem pioneer Nathaniel Branden, a compelling new work that reinvigorates his foundational insights while introducing a powerful new chapter: Self-Esteem as a Spiritual Discipline. Branden--who authored nearly 20 transformative books, including The Psychology of Self-Esteem and The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem--was among the first psychologists to rigorously define self-esteem as the experience of being competent to cope and worthy of happiness. In this essential new volume, Branden blends his hallmark psychological clarity with a fresh spiritual lens, showing how self-esteem is not only a path to personal wellbeing but also a deeper quest of consciousness and integrity. In The Virtue of Inner Strength, you'll: * Learn why self-esteem is your most important right--and how defending it is essential for genuine happiness. * Understand Branden's classic insight: "Self-esteem is the reputation you get with yourself," developed through competent, confident, courageous action--while misguided actions chip away at your inner strength. * Explore his practical self-esteem methods--living consciously, accepting responsibility, integrity, purposefulness, assertiveness, and self acceptance--each building deep psychological resilience. The benefits for the reader: * A renewed sense of personal agency: build trust in your mind and expand confidence that you deserve success, love, and fulfillment. * Emotional resilience: confront self-doubt, face fears, and channel discomfort as fuel for personal growth. * Spiritual clarity: deepen your connection to reality and develop a consciousness rooted in truth, purpose, and integrity. * Life affirming habits: cultivate lifelong practices--living consciously, self-responsibly, and with integrity--that protect your inner strength even when challenged. * Holistic balance: integrate psychological insight with spiritual discipline to emerge as a whole, self-empowered person. New in this edition: Self-Esteem as a Spiritual Discipline Branden elevates self-esteem from a psychological need to a spiritual practice--a disciplined way of orienting your awareness, truthfulness, and personal integrity. You'll discover: * How self-esteem differs from fleeting self-image--a deep container for your thoughts, feelings, and responses. * * Why self-esteem is more than "feel good"; when grounded in reality and built through the "six pillars," it transforms into a spiritual achievement. In a culture that often confuses self-esteem with vanity or entitlement, Branden's work stands firm: true self-esteem is earned, grounded, and crucial for navigating life's complexities. The Virtue of Inner Strength is your comprehensive guide to building an unshakable foundation of inner power--both practical and profound--rooted in psychological insight and spiritual depth.
