Very poor. Very patronising.
Any additional comments?
No help at all. I found this to be very patronising and full of nonsense and very cliched advice. I barely took anything from it, despite struggling the whole way thru it!

DULL!
Any additional comments?
For me, i found this very very boring. Slow paced and unhelpful. I had heard all the advice a million times before. Contained nothing new. Maybe int he 80's this was an exciting and helpful book but times have moved on. Sorry, not for me.

Series of very accessible talks
Where does Overcoming Low Self-Esteem rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As a trainee counsellor I thought this was an excellent series of talks - both for myself as a counsellor and to recommend to clients who might be grappling with the issue of low self esteem.
The author [UK accent] reads through a series of talks which explain why low self esteem arises and goes through a series of steps that you can take to understand and overcome low self esteem.
She uses a CBT [cognitive behavioural therapy] approach which she explains very clearly. The idea being that you use the 'exercises' in the talks to understand what is going on for you with the result that you can improve your self esteem and be happier as a result.
What other book might you compare Overcoming Low Self-Esteem to, and why?
I've read a few of the 'Overcoming' series of book and they are all very accessible, which is probably why they are part of the UK's 'books on prescription' scheme - a self help scheme for people with mild to moderate mental health issues.
Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances? How does this one compare?
N/A
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's too long to listen to all in one sitting, there's a lot to take in. I listened to it all the way through twice [over the course of several dog walks!] and I'm intending to listen to it again with a notebook to hand to make notes on each talk, the exercises etc.
Any additional comments?
Would very much recommend this if you feel you have a low self esteem and want to do something about it.

Very helpful
A great insight into basic level anxiety, low self esteem and depression. If you have a more severe level of these things, the book allows you the opportunity to recognise that and decide whether seeking more professional help is a good option.
Overall, I’m pleased with the final result and I do feel that I have a much more positive outlook on my life.

Very helpful for increasing confidence
Narrator has a headmistress voice that is strong but kindly and caring. Listening to this audiobook enabled me to do some things I'd not dared to do. I'll be sure to listen to the audiobook again and again to integrate her very helpful no nonsense reassuring approach to life into my core.

Really Important Work
Melanie Fennell really strikes the nail right on the head with regards to the complex problem of low self esteem. The term "low self esteem" is often bandied about as if it were something that people "should just get over" . This author realises how profoundly it can be engrained in people and how vicious it can be. Useful insights such as knowing one's "bottom line" and addressing one's "rules for living" are explained in a very clear and extremely helpful manner. This is not a shallow "pop psychology" book. It is a really powerful and useful therapeutic guide. Very worthwhile and highly recommended.

very useful
A lovely, calming voice helps you to map out some inner thoughts. Not cheesy or grating like some self-helps can be.
