情绪波动大，一点就着？常常犹豫退缩，陷入自我怀疑？总是在意他人的眼光，对他人评价敏感？ 我们都希望拥有更稳定的内核，处变不惊，情绪稳定。本书中，心理学家刘翔平教授指出，内核稳定的基础是拥有健康的自尊和他尊。自尊，即相信“我是好的”；他尊，即相信“他人觉得我是好的”，以及相信“他人也是好的”。 近年来，自尊成为一个流行的心理学概念，但刘翔平教授结合前沿的心理学研究和思考，以及中国文化和社会现实，揭示了只有自尊是不够的，我们需要同时建立起健康的他尊。书中对自尊和他尊是什么、从哪里来进行了深入的阐述，进而分别讨论了如何走出低自尊的自我脆弱，以及如何应对低他尊的人际关系苦恼，帮助读者塑造更健康的自尊和他尊，从而拥有稳定的内核。
