This easy-to-use toolkit provides practical techniques to feel better about who you are, right here and right now.

"Reading The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit was like covering myself in a Kindness Blanket (one of Risa Williams' strategies in this book). With her signature wisdom and her ability to distill neuroscience into the most powerful and accessible tools, Williams has created the handbook for anyone looking to boost their self-esteem." – Dr. Tamara Soles, Psychologist, Podcast Host, and Founder of The Secure Child Centre in Montreal

"This book is such a lovely read. Williams' third book in the series adds more original and creative tools to boost our confidence, achieve our goals and help us appreciate who we truly are. If you are looking for new ways to feel more kindness toward yourself, you must read this book!" - Eden Byrne, licensed therapist and EMDR practitioner

"Risa Williams does an amazing job at breaking down the complexities of self-esteem. The tools she uses are clear and concise, with relatable examples that make it easy for anyone to connect with. This book teaches people how to engage in the metacognitive process, or thinking about their own thinking, which is crucial to shaping our perceptions of ourselves."
– Stevon Lewis, Licensed Therapist, Book Author and Podcast Host

“I’ll be using this book for my clients and my own family! Risa hits all the key points for improving self-esteem including tools for changing thought patterns, applying mindfulness, accepting compliments, overcoming perfectionism, and more. Just like in her other books, she delivers neuroscience nuggets and creative tools with a warm, relatable, and actionable style. Applicable for adults and youth alike, I look forward to introducing my own emerging adolescents to this book!"
- Erica Curtis, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; author; mother of three
