What is self-esteem? How important is it and where does it come from? Can you get it if you don't have it? Can you bounce back or better yet not be impacted when failures happen or others put you down? Does self-esteem really determine your happiness level?

I've pondered these questions off and on for years yet it wasn't until I met Patricia Noll that I learned of a different kind of self-esteem that drives more people than the traditional form of self-esteem. This other form of self-esteem can be more destructive than any other and more difficult to recognize.

On this episode of It's All About the Questions, I am asking questions of Patricia Noll, author of the bestselling book, Good With Me, A Simple Approach to Real Happiness from the Inside Out.

Patricia will share insights on real long-lasting happiness and five tips tips to building and keeping your esteem.
