Description
Book SynopsisHave you been putting all your effort into finding happiness and success, yet they feel further away than ever? The problem may be other-dependent esteem, or basing our self-esteem on people or things outside of ourselves. Based on self-esteem expert Patricia Noll's success as founder of Focus One, a state-licensed outpatient substance abuse program, Good With Me offers a revolutionary approach to breaking the cycle of other-dependency, stress, addictive behaviors, and deep unhappiness and helping you build self-dependent esteem from the inside out, the real source of lasting happiness.
