Synopsis

This book presents two fundamental aspects for the academic and personal development of university students: self-esteem and reading comprehension. Through these pages, the close relationship between both elements and their influence on academic performance, personal growth and goal achievement is explored.
Self-esteem, the appreciation that each individual has of himself, plays a crucial role in the lives of university students. In this context, self-esteem is closely linked to reading comprehension, as it affects the way students approach texts, their confidence in approaching them, and their ability to extract meaning and interpret the information presented. Through a multidimensional approach, this book seeks to delve deeper into the importance of cultivating a healthy and positive self-esteem in university students. The various dimensions of self-esteem are discussed, such as self-acceptance, confidence in one's own abilities, and recognition of personal achievements. Additionally, we will examine how these dimensions influence reading comprehension and the way students engage with academic texts.
