Publisher's Summary

"Self-loathing is a dark land studded with booby-traps. Fumbling through its dark underbrush, we cannot see what our trouble actually is: that we are mistaken about ourselves. That we were told lies long ago which we, in love and loyalty and fear, believed. Will we believe ourselves to death?" (from Unworthy).

As someone who has struggled with low self-esteem her entire life, Anneli Rufus knows only too well how the world looks through the eyes of those who are not comfortable in their own skin. In Unworthy, Rufus boldly explores how a lack of faith in ourselves can turn us into our own worst enemies. Drawing on extensive research, enlightening interviews, and her own poignant experiences, Rufus considers the question: What personal, societal, biological, and historical factors coalesced to spark this secret epidemic, and what can be done to put a stop to it? She reveals the underlying sources of low self-esteem and leads us through strategies for positive change.

Shocking Narration

Completely distracted by over-enunciated, cheerful & (somehow) robotic reading. Completely undermines everything else. Hard to imagine how this narrator was chosen.

The voice didn't go with the subject material

Enjoyed the book, but I found that the voice of the reader was less mature than that of the author. Sometimes it was distracting and took away from the key messages of the book, which were in fact quite helpful.

Excellent book. Worst narrator ever.

Why oh why did such a good book not deserve excellent narration?!? I have listened to countless free audiobooks with better narration. You must really really want to listen to this book. Or get the text version.

Terrible voice, does not keep you engaged or value

It does not let you pay attention to the value of the content because of the tone of voice that doesn't emphasize important points and the high pitch is so irritating that you loose focus and it makes the harsh words feel even worse because the reason and content is hard enough to hear, as your purpose in reading this book, it is terrible to listen to.

Not helpful

Another book with lots of storytelling, quotes and references to research.....but literally zero strategies given. So frustrating!
