So in “Everything I know about self-esteem I got from Gehazi” we are going to look at the conditions that contributed to Gehazi’s poor decisions and we will try to understand what may have been going through his head at the time. The problem is that when people are being put down continuously it results in low self-esteem which can lead to rebellious attitudes and bad choices. We are going to go back in time to the year 850 BC. This story is about a man who, if we are honest; most of us should relate to. The author will provide pragmatic and practical solutions to enable individuals to cultivate good self-esteem, based upon his own experience and observations.
