Self-love is a topic many of us seek to avoid – yet it has a profound impact on our happiness, effectiveness and spiritual growth as human beings. What is less known, is how self-love influences leadership impact. Drawing on both her professional experience, and pioneering published academic research into authentic self-love and leadership, Dr Nerisha explores how authentic self-love profoundly impacts our ability to lead ourselves and others successfully.
Sharing inspiring insights from interviews with leaders from all walks of life, Dr Nerisha’s book highlights the critical role that authentic self-love plays in holistic human flourishing, and its critical distinction from selfishness and narcissism. The relevance of her research into self-love and leadership extends beyond corporate executives, encompassing parents, teachers, coaches, community leaders, academics, political leaders, spiritual leaders, and just about anybody who consciously chooses to lead both themselves and others to higher levels of growth and purpose.
Released in 2016, Self-Love: The Authentic Path to Conscious Leadership continues to sell copies worldwide. The book was included in the recommended reading list to doctoral psychiatry candidates at Stellenbosch University (2018) and is prescribed on various coaching training programmes. Dr Nerisha continues to receive many requests to speak and train on the topic.
