The Courage to Be Yourself: A Woman’s Guide to Emotional Strength and Self-Esteem

The Courage to Be Yourself: A Woman’s Guide to Emotional Strength and Self-Esteem. Sue Patton Thoele continues her quest to help readers enhance their self-esteem and tap into their core emotional strength. Geared to women who too often find themselves meeting the wants of others at the expense of their own needs, the book provides necessary tools to help readers transform their fears into the courage to express their own authentic selves. By sharing her own journey and the journey of other women, Thoele helps readers learn to set boundaries, change self-defeating behavior patterns, communicate effectively, and become a loving and tolerant friend to themselves. This tenth-anniversary edition contains 30 percent new material, including a new introduction.

“As a minister, I counsel as many women as I do men. More than any other author, Sue Patton Thoele has helped me understand what it is like to be a woman in today’s culture. She writes like an angel yet somehow transcends words and communicates directly to the reader’s heart. The Courage to Be Yourself is a classic, a masterpiece, yet it is so honest that each time you read it, it speaks with a fresh, new voice.” — Hugh Prather, author of The Little Book of Letting Go and Spiritual Notes to Myself.

“There is nothing more difficult than living an inauthentic life in which our deepest beliefs and dreams lay dormant. In this wonderfully inspiring and wise book, Sue Patton Thoele will guide you to discover and celebrate your deepest hopes, desires, and gloriously authentic self.” — Susan Skog, author of Radical Acts of Love.
