"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:"--Proverbs 1:5
Kevin Everett FitzMaurice, M.S., NCC, CCMHC, LPC is "The Enemy of Self-Esteem."
Why the enemy of self-esteem?
For many reasons 9 of which are listed below:
1) Self-esteem is just a new name for ego.
2) Self-esteem is the problem NOT the solution.
3) Self-esteem leads to either pride or shame.
4) There are better alternatives such as self-acceptance.
5) Self-esteem is the root cause of racism and genocide.
6) Self-esteem is the root cause of war and pollution.
7) High self-esteem is just is another name for pride.
8) Low self-esteem is just another name for shame.
9) Self-esteem is the motive for blaming, damning, and whining.
MAIN PROBLEM
Perhaps the main problem with self-esteem is that it does not separate self from the behavior of self. There is every advantage to measuring, comparing, and rating behavior. Conversely, there is every disadvantage to measuring, comparing, and rating self.
If one were a careful thinker, it would be reasonable to have pride and shame over behavior. But as most people are at best sloppy thinkers, and any thoughts of pride or shame over behavior soon become related to self, it is best to avoid both pride and shame, both high self-esteem and low self-esteem.
