"A terrific read - an invaluable insight into confidence." —EAMONN HOLMES "This is an excellent read with some sound advice on maintaining your self-esteem - which is a crucial skill in modern life." —Dr Chai Patel People now have more choices than ever before - but are they any happier? There's evidence to suggest that many are drowning under the weight of their responsibilities and losing confidence in their ability to juggle more and more tasks. Steve and Lynn Clark are one such couple. Married with a 5-year-old child, they are successful and happy. On the surface. But their relationship is beginning to stagnate and their confidence in their life together - and each other - is starting to crumble. Until, that is, an unsolicited text message asks a searching question. It's the first of a series of texts that cause them to question their behaviour and values - and devise a series of remedies to their growing problems. Together, Steve and Lynn create and explore 15 ways to build confidence. Simple principles that anyone can apply to their own lives with similar results. Through this modern parable, Bill McFarlan (author of the bestselling Drop the Pink Elephant) and psychiatrist Dr Alex Yellowlees (one of Britain's foremost experts in self-esteem) get to the root of issues that affect us all. Are you good enough? will help you walk tall, reach your goals, eliminate self-doubt and banish low self-esteem for good.
