“Timeless, profound, compelling, and transforming with a new twist on the importance of self.” —Carol Guild, author of The Success Myth“This is a great book! It will help you develop authentic self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-actualization. If you’re seeking more happiness, joy, fulfillment, and true inner peace, this book will show you how to do it.” —Jack Canfield, Co-author of The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be™“Dr. Pham provides real-life examples and insight into the inner workings of how our self-esteem is created. She elegantly informs the reader of the importance of establishing boundaries and showing respect to ourselves through self-care and selfish acts. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I found this book to be a great resource for clients! Dr. Pham does an excellent job of making this book a breeze to read while providing great insight into the importance of self-care, understanding family of origin information with regard to self-esteem, and finding a healthy balance of ‘selfish’ behavior and boundaries with others. I love, love, loved the brief but thought-provoking assignments provided at the end of each chapter! I’ve already suggested this book to a few clients and can’t wait to share it with others! Great read!” —Jennifer Hopes, Marriage and Family Therapist“Uplifting and inspirational, The Joy of Me takes you through a journey of self-transformation. It is a book that everyone should read and will make a real difference.” —Geoffrey Berwind, storytelling consultant“So many people fail to live authentically. Reading the tips in this book will help anyone get over that obstacle and succeed.” —Dr. Jasmine Filion
