In fact, some psychologists are defining self-esteem as the degree to which you believe that you are likeable to others
Dale Carnegie
“The Need to be Liked” by Dr. Roger Cavins is a comprehensive examination of the universal human need to be liked. Through the lens of psychoanalytic theory and case studies, Dr. Cavins provides insights into the origins of this need, its manifestations in behavior and relationships, and its impact on our lives. But don’t get discouraged, it is a short and easy-to-read book, although not meant to be a solution-oriented book it is very good to allow us to understand why we have this need and why it is normal. This will allow us to increase self-acceptance. Overall, “The Need to be Liked” provides readers with a deeper understanding of themselves and the dynamics of their relationships, empowering them to live more authentic and satisfying lives.
