In a nutshell, self-esteem is your opinion of yourself and your abilities. It is the determining factor in your happiness and success.
It includes:
- the judgement we pass on ourselves,
- a feeling of personal competence,
- a feeling of personal worth,
- a high level of intellectual self trust and
- a strong sense that it is okay and desirable to be happy in life.
According to Nathaniel Brandon, author of the Book How to raise your self-esteem, it is the sum of self-confidence and self respect.
