The Self-Esteem Trap

Favorite quote so far:  “At times of difficulty, when they could teach the valuable lesson to their child that they are confident he/she can handle disappointment and limitation, they sidestep conflict and avoid bad feelings that come with it…unwittingly depriving him or her of the ordinary bits of adversity that will inoculate him/her against later life stresses.”  Also love this:  “the trouble with being special is that it frequently leads to being trapped in negative self-absorption…new confidence is rooted in being and feeling ordinary.  Feeling ordinary comes from wisdom about our human condition and a knowledge of how we are all connected.”
