I read on some psych websites that too much Self Esteem can be a bad thing. "Bad Thing" is an opinion, yes, but has peaked my interest enough to read a bit about it to keep myself in check.
"[Talking about high self esteem] Along with increased narcissism are also increased levels of loneliness and depression. This makes sense: mature relationships require mutuality, where neither partner is more important than the other. There can be no reciprocal relationship when one partner is self-centered. Egoism pushes others away, thereby leading to loneliness. And being disconnected from others in a meaningful way is a road to depression."
Among other excerpts. I assume this program is well rounded but I have to ask, what else is going on in the SE script to balance out ego and high levels of self esteem, if anything? Shannon or others, can you comment on this? There is not much information on the SE sales page. Thanks
