following sources of self-esteem: living consciously, self-
acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, living
purposefully, and personal integrity; addresses self-esteem with
respect to school, work, therapy, and culture.  McKay, M., &
Fanning, P. (1987). Self-Esteem. Based on the idea that low
self-esteem is related to an internal self-critic; chapters
focus on topics such as cognitive distortions, “shoulds,”
responding to criticism, and handling mistakes.  Sokol, L. &
Fox, M.G. (2009). Think Confident, Be Confident: A Four-Step
Program to Eliminate Doubt and Achieve Lifelong Self-Esteem. The
authors utilize basic concepts from cognitive therapy (i.e.,
that how you think influences how you feel and how you behave),
to work towards changing thinking—in particular,the self-doubt
that undermines self-confidence.
