The original, best-selling book that sparked the Elf-help movement invites readers to embrace their own lovability. Author and clinical social worker Cherry Hartman offers a lighthearted exploration of genuine self-love through 37 insightful and charmingly illustrated "rules" for daily living. Do you feel guilty for expressing anger or ashamed of your emotions? Do you criticize yourself for mistakes or feel bad about prioritizing your needs? This guide aims to help you overcome the distorted beliefs that hinder a fulfilling and honest life. Many people grow up adopting negative attitudes that weigh them down. Hartman’s work encourages readers to recognize that self-esteem is not self-indulgence; rather, true self-love stems from understanding that we are all creations of God. To love oneself is to honor the Creator, and nurturing your own well-being is essential to being a gift to others. With over sixteen years of experience, Hartman provides essential coping rules to promote daily peace and harmony. Embrace the journey of self-acceptance and let this book liberate you for a more joyful existence.
