Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It

The bestselling self-published phenomenon expanded with new practices and insights—a profound story of personal transformation that teaches you how to heal yourself by learning to love yourself.

I almost didn’t publish Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It. Here I was, a CEO who’d fallen apart after his company failed, writing a book about how the simple practice of self-love saved him. I thought I’d be a laughingstock and my career would be finished. But I stepped through the fears and shared my truth with the world. The book went viral. Amazing people all over bought copies for friends and family. For some, this book saved their lives. For others, it was the first time they ever loved themselves.

Many readers reached out and asked questions. This taught me that, to create lasting impact, I had to go deeper. So, seven years later, here it is. All the questions I received, resolved. My intention is that by the time you finish this new edition, a powerful guide for building self-esteem, not only will you be committed to loving yourself, you’ll know exactly how to do it. And, most importantly, how to make it last.
