How can we overcome the problem of seeing our "self" negatively and the resulting low self-esteem? Is there a way to be in a state of awareness where our goodness and self-esteem is evident, irrefutable, and permanent? This book opens your mind to the presence of your boundless and inherent self-worth within; transforming the way you think about your "self", life, and the world in revelatory ways. Using every-day experiences and insights gained with the help of her training in the Practice of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), being a mother of four, a wife and her study of The Course in Miracles, Eloisa Ramos sheds light into our perceptions and how we come to think the way we do. Subconscious processes that often lead us to see our “self” and the world negatively can now be observed and changed. Beyond Self-Esteem: Discovering Your Boundless Self-Worth opens your mind to a Spiritual understanding of your "self" and to the inherent, limitless value that is found there. Unlike most other self-help books, which paint self-esteem as something that needs to be built up, to be improved; Beyond Self-Esteem dispels this widely accepted perception and helps guide us to a mind-opening idea; that our self-worth already exists whole and perfect. This book will take you deep into the inner workings and belief structures of your perceiving mind, teaching you how to uncover, revise and let go of your negative beliefs around self-worth and discover the untouchable and boundless truth. A truth beyond self-esteem.

Self-esteem is a concept which everybody experiences but there is conceptual confusion between self-feelings and self-conceptions. This book addresses the issue by replicating past studies with analysis of original data and proposing a three-factor theory of self-sentiments consisting of self-esteem, self-efficacy and self activation.

Egoicism, a mindset that places primary focus upon oneself, is rampant in contemporary Western cultures as commercial advertisements, popular books, song lyrics, and mobile apps consistently promote self-interest. Consequently, researchers have begun to address the psychological, interpersonal, and broader societal costs of excessive egoicism and to investigate alternatives to a "me and mine first" mindset. For centuries, scholars, spiritual leaders, and social activists have advocated a "hypo-egoic" way of being that is characterized by less self-concern in favor of a more inclusive "we first" mode of functioning. In recent years, investigations of hypo-egoic functioning have been examined by psychologists, cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and philosophers. Edited by Kirk Warren Brown and Mark R. Leary, The Oxford Handbook of Hypo-egoic Phenomena brings together an expert group of contributors to examine these groundbreaking lines of inquiry, distilling current knowledge about hypo-egoicism into an exceptional resource. In this volume, readers will fi nd theoretical perspectives from philosophy and several major branches of psychology to inform our understanding of the nature of hypo-egoicism and its expressions in various domains of life. Further, readers will encounter psychological research discoveries about particular phenomena in which hypo-egoicism is a prominent feature, demonstrating its implications for well-being, regulation of emotion, adaptive decision-making, positive social relations, and other markers of human happiness, well-being, and health. This Handbook offers the most comprehensive and thoughtful analyses of hypo-egoicism to date.
