The Self-Esteem Class teaches us about the influence of self-esteem on our lives and provides practical guidance for building the strongest image of yourself. This book will help anyone who would like to attain higher self-esteem but doesn’t know how to overcome the obstacles they face, as well as help recover the self-esteem of people who struggle with internal conflicts.

Dr. Yoon Hong Gyun serves as the director of Yoon Hong Gyun Psychiatry Clinic in Korea. A graduate of Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, he is renowned for his expertise in self-esteem and addiction. Raised in a large family of ten, Dr. Yoon became interested in interpersonal dynamics early on, sparking his interest in behavioural psychology. The Self-Esteem Class represents the culmination of his experiences and knowledge, aimed at addressing the concerns and questions of those seeking to better understand and transform their lives.
