“Whether we like ourselves or not, it affects our self-esteem. The problem that we’ve gotten into is we don’t count all our achievements.” – Dr. Gary Sprouse



Author of “Highway to Your Happy Place: A Roadmap to Less Stress,” Dr. Gary Sprouse shares his unique perspective on self-esteem, blending his medical knowledge with psychological insights. We explore his innovative “50-point wake-up” system and how it can transform the way you view yourself and your accomplishments.

Discover how to:



* Accurately assess your achievements and give yourself proper credit

* Reframe your self-perception using Dr. Sprouse’s three-part self-esteem model

* Overcome the hidden culprits behind chronic stress and self-doubt



Key insights include:



* The surprising connection between your ability to envision the future and your self-esteem

* How to use “realistic optimism” to navigate challenges without succumbing to fear

* A practical “worry organizer” tool to manage anxiety and boost confidence in negotiations



Dr. Sprouse also introduces his four D’s – Deny, Deflect, Diminish, and Dismiss – and explains how these unconscious behaviors can either reinforce or undermine your self-esteem.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur struggling with confidence or simply looking to enhance your negotiation skills, this conversation offers a fresh, science-backed approach to building unshakeable self-worth. Get ready to rewire your thinking and claim the success you truly deserve!
