Description

The title grabbed me, but the content is with me to this day. Seabury’s “Selfishness” is not selfish. He teaches us how to attain and sustain a healthy self-regard despite unfounded accusations by others that we are being selfish. It is one of the finest self-help books I’ve ever read and I am so sorry that it is now out of print. This one is a “keeper” and deserves many readings. I’ve bought and given many copies and hope to see a reprint soon. When I first saw this book fifteen years ago, the title shocked me and captured my attention. There are plenty of people in your life that want you to live for them. This book shows that if you make the hard decision to live for yourself you invariably end up helping the other people in your life more than if you caved in to their wishes. By taking care of your self, you help those around you to get on with their own lives. If you put yourself in order and live your life like you should, everyone in your life, including yourself, will be much happier.
