Self-Worth – A Journey Home by Cecilie Benneche

You can only belong to the world when you belong to yourself. To feel at home in yourself is to belong — not only to others, but to your own life. Yet many of us spend years feeling like strangers to ourselves.

In this compassionate and insightful book, psychologist Cecilie Benneche describes low self-esteem as a form of homelessness: we lose our sense of self and feel unsafe in relation to others, trapped in constant comparison and self-doubt. Life becomes a competition with filled with questions like – Am I good enough? Do I measure up?

With warmth and clarity, Benneche explores perfectionism, performance pressure, and the inner critic that keeps us small. Her message is simple yet powerful: self-worth can be reclaimed. You’ll learn to recognize the mechanisms that hold you down, understand where they come from, and find the courage to meet yourself with kindness instead of judgment.
