Self–esteem is very important in modern and contemporary Western psychology. This concept has had a profound influence on personality, social psychology, and cross–cultural studies. Self-esteem is an important construct that underlies and often helps to explain human thoughts, feelings, and behavior. This book discusses the perspectives and influences of self-esteem, and provides a review on improvement strategies for those who suffer from low self-esteem. (Imprint: Nova)
