The devaluation is a feeling that squanders and thwart projects, blocks the ability to be creative, creates uncertainty, increases, therefore, distress and anxiety, and complicates the complexity of human relationships.

Cinderellas and ugly ducklings. From personal devaluation to good self-esteem analyzes of acute simple but the intricate web of human devaluation. It explores, in children's stories as in life itself, how people eagerly seeking personal assessment in the environment, making babies good, poor victims, helpers or exemplary students, among others, with the secret expectation of being valued and recognized .

Feeling full with ourselves is to know that the best thing that can happen is to be good about ourselves.
