The Great Self-Esteem Myth

A team of researchers has taken a closer look
at the idea that self-esteem is a crucial factor
in personal happiness, achievement, and
behavior. Their research conclusively destroys
the self-esteem myth and demonstrates
that the nation's obsession with self-esteem
was never based on science in the first place.

Scientific American has done us all a great
service by exploding the self-esteem myth,
and indicating just how superficial and
baseless the claims of self-esteem advocates
are now shown to be. Expect an energetic
retort from the self-esteem industry. They
won't go down without a fight.
