There are times when self-love can feel elusive. We seem to be programmed to search for validations from others, but unfortunately, it becomes more difficult than it should be when it comes down to the most important opinion – our own. People with low self-esteem often see self-care as self-centeredness. It is often the most challenging part for them to show kindness towards themselves, look inward, and love what others see in them.
The most unfortunate part of feeling inferior is that the lack of self-love doesn't only affect you; it also affects the loving relationships associated with you. How could you feel the love from your partner when you don't feel for your own? This is an issue of deep concern that must be looked after before it's too late.
The list below includes some of the best women’s fiction books on self-help, self-love, and acceptance to make you feel valued and have high regard for your own well-being and happiness.
