Bob Mandel

Bob Mandel founded the Integral Self-Esteem Project (ISEP) in 1998 as a result of a meditation. While in deep silence, a question came to mind. “What would you do if you could do one thing to improve the world?” Immediately, the answer and mission for the project appeared– to help raise the self-esteem of every man, woman, and child on the planet.

ISEP is a timely project, teaching children and adults to be at peace with themselves and more accepting of the differences they see in others. Through a series of 10 journeys, you learn that true self-esteem is not egotistic, but holistic and spiritual. It expands as you extend yourself in relationships. As the famous English poet John Donne wrote many centuries ago, “No man is an island, entire to himself.” Finally, your self-esteem is measured by your ability to connect with and love others, to transcend yourself and spread your light to the world.

ISEP is both a philosophy, a way of looking at life, and specific techniques for achieving greater self-awareness, spiritual development, and success. We all have unique gifts and talents, enormous potential, and the desire to help others. ISEP helps you to take your potential and put it into successful, positive action through projects that resonate to the beat of your own heart.
