  Thank you Netgalley for a e-book copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
  
  I was pretty intrigued to what this book would do me because you could say I've got low self esteem. There are many teenagers these days that have that and I would definitely recommend this book to them.
  
  What I liked.
  The many examples and scenarios.
  Quotes from famous people including our Queen JK Rowling.“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” That helped me alot, I will always forever remember that quote.
  It all made sense and I think what I've read the many exercises I've had to do might come in use.
  
  However.
  There were too many exercises, I knew the point of them but I didn't want to keep thinking about ME I just wanted to read. I'm not going to lie I might have skipped some.
  
  I don't usually read self help books because I don't believe in them much but sometimes you gotta y'know?
  
  It's not selfish to have a life where you feel good about what you do and who you are.

  In counseling I use Lisa's Anxiety workbook. I have had success, and at times I need reminders I can look at my worksheets.
  
  The self- Esteem book has activities, short stories, and examples. Very Helpful!

  As we grow old many of us have forgotten about the turmoil we had in our lives as we entered our teen years and puberty; and it didn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl, both were essentially the same. We both found out making friends became different once out of grade school, and if we couldn’t make any we began to wonder what was wrong with us, is it or clothes.
  
  We had to learn that with age came changes in the manner in which we approach people for the first time. We had to learn how we now needed to handle the situations he used to handle before with ease, we also needed to learn situations now to handle situations we never did before. And when we couldn’t, we would usually became depressed and withdrawn without knowing why, which far too often would have a negative on other aspects of our lives. We had no idea that what we had been suffering from had been our lack of self-esteem.
  
  Ms. Lisa M. Schab, taking her years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker with a private counseling practice in the greater Chicago area, has “Self-Esteem for Teens.”
  
  The intention of her book is to serve as a foundation where teens can begin to understand that they’re in control of their individual self-esteem, and eventually their own destiny. She does this not merely by talking about this subject matter, but by giving her teenage readers real-life situations they can associate their lives with, along with useful exercises designed a self-exploration of themselves.
  
  The book has been divided into two sections; the first deals with the concept of self-esteem and it fundamental beliefs, and the second has the exercises to help the teen break out of their shells.
  
  While this book is targeted for teenage reader, I believe many adults could benefit from this book as well. For helping others in finding their “lost” self-esteem, I’ve given this book 5 STARS.

  Self-Esteem for Teens: Six Principles for Creating the Life You Want is what the title says, a book to teach teenagers how to be confident and up their self-esteem. It's easy to understand and effective in, at least, get you thinking.
  
  As someone who is surrounded by teenagers every day, I know how self-esteem plays a huge role in their lives. I think this book could definitely help everyone, at least one little bit.
  
  I tried some of the exercises from this book; some worked, some didn't. But again, I feel like someone who thinks they would benefit from this, they definitely will.

  This was a great book. It was organized in a way that was easy to know what to expect of it.
  It used a simple language to explain its concepts. I liked the examples it had, very appropriate for the age target, and the wisdom tales were so beautiful.
  It was divided in two sections. The first one, core beliefs, oriented to understand where self-esteem comes from and how it’s in our hands. And the second, power-filled choices that helps to understand how to deal with the struggles we find in life. Each section contains principles that are very clearly explain. The way the sections were divided in learn, explore, become and affirm was very enlightening
  
  Even though it was oriented to teenage, I think it can be useful, not only to that group but to any other readers. The examples and general language might be oriented to a younger public, but the concepts were universal and any reader can get great knowledge from it.
  
  It was a very insightful book, I think it is important that the person who read it it’s willing to work and to deal with difficult emotions. It is not a book to be read in a hurry, it’ll take time and effort to get something out of it, but I think it can be very useful in someone willing to do it.
  
  Overall it was is a good book, but its possibility of success remains in the hands of the reader. I would recommended not only to teens, but also to people who work with them, maybe in an educational, social or any other ambit. I also think any reader, regardless the age, can benefit from it.
