Be Bold!: And Discover the Power of Praise
Susan Mitchell. Simon & Schuster (Australia), $16 (176pp) ISBN 978-0-7432-1813-9
""Simple praise. No hype, no psycho-babble, no false flattery, just good old-fashioned genuine praise,"" Susan Mitchell claims is the key to developing healthy self-esteem. In Be Bold!, Mitchell (Icons, Saints and Divas; Tall Poppies) explains that learning to accept and give praise generously and graciously starts with our parents. However, she continues, those who have not been fortunate enough to have been raised with praise can learn to praise themselves and others, who generally respond in kind. Agent, Tim Curnow. ( July)
