The Right to Be Yourself. How to Treat Yourself So That You Are Valued

Annotation I have long rid myself of the thought: "What will others think of me..." It seems like a small thing, but it truly helps to live differently - more freely, without excessive tension and fear of doing something wrong. The opinions of others are a serious obstacle on the path to personal happiness and professional success. This is a fact. It may seem like nonsense - just standing aside once again, listening to someone’s words. But then something seems to click inside - and we are already following someone else's motives, living by someone else's scripts, accumulating complexes, not believing in ourselves and our abilities. If you only believe in yourself halfway, then you become only halfway happy.
In this book, you will learn to distinguish truly practical and valuable advice from annoying imposition of personal opinions presented as facts. You will rid yourself of stereotypes that obscure your own "self." You will begin to live in the mode of a self-interested person - but a reasonable self-interested person - and realize that this is not bad and not at all shameful.
