‘Self-esteem’ at Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life

Dr Simon’s series continues with the third of ‘ten commandments’ of character development: maintain a balanced sense of self-worth.

There is a dogma that says, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. I think the reality is that what doesn’t kill you can leave you maimed.

One of the most serious misconceptions about self-esteem is that you can never have too much of it.

Our conceptualizations of the situations we find ourselves in can not only place us at a disadvantage, but can literally do us harm.

There’s no need to “red flag” action that you’re willing to take if the disturbed character won’t change. Don’t threaten, just take action.
