How often have you been told that you are special and unique? In today's society, we are constantly bombarded with messages that emphasize the importance of self-esteem and self-worth. But what if the central claim underlying this emphasis is built on a falsehood? Join me in this episode as I explore the global impact of the self-esteem movement and delve into the implications of our self-centered culture on society.
Get comfortable and listen in as I explore the global impact of the self-esteem movement, how it spawned a $10-billion industry and brought about massive policy and legislative changes, and how it was all built on a falsehood. I also explore how the societally promoted emphasis on the self and the self-centered culture has led to an implicit notion of our specialness and an increase in narcissism, and analyze the broader implications of this cultural phenomenon for society.
