Recommendation

Chock-full of goofy and irreverent metaphors, this post from self-help author Mark Manson is a fun read. Don't let the irreverent tone fool you - Manson has sharp insights into what self-esteem is, why it has such a hold on the popular imagination, and why that hold is perhaps misplaced. His casual style, and adult language might not appeal to everyone, but it's certainly not boring. He helpfully includes footnotes to deeper reads if you're interested in a more in-depth approach and provides essential tips for cultivating a healthy sense of self-appreciation.

Take-Aways

  • Many believe that self-esteem is essential to a healthy and happy life. 
  • Self-esteem doesn't necessarily predict good outcomes. 
  • There are two kinds of esteem: healthy and toxic.
