Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment -- Marisa G. Franco, Hardcover
From the New York Times bestselling author of Platonic, a groundbreaking guide exploring the promise (and limits) of secure attachment to help us feel better and boost our self-esteem. "I can't think of anyone who won't need this book." --Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author and host of For the Love What if what you thought you knew about secure attachment was wrong? Or worse, making you more insecure? Dr. Marisa G. Franco is the New York Times bestselling friendship expert whose advice Glennon Doyle calls "wise, concrete, and effective"--Dr. Franco literally wrote the book on how to become a securely attached friend. But since then, she's realized that when we feel unworthy, the things we think should make us feel secure and raise our self-esteem often backfire:
- Optimistic self-talk makes us feel worse, not better.
- Positive feedback raises our blood pressure.
- Compliments make us uncomfortable.
- Positive events make us sicker.
