About this listen

 Chapter 3. You are not special In this chapter, Marc talks about genuine self–esteem. With the help of an example of a person called Jimmy, Marc says that merely feeling good about ourselves does not really mean anything unless we have a good reason to feel good about ourselves. The problem with the self–esteem movement is that it measured self-esteem by how positively people felt about themselves. But a true and accurate measurement of one’s self-worth is how people think about the negative aspects of themselves. A person with high self-worth can look at the negative parts of his character and then act to improve them. For example, I am irresponsible with money, exaggerate my success, and rely too much on others to support me. But people incapable of acknowledging their problems cannot improve their lives in any lasting and meaningful way. People who value their life incredibly see the negative part of their character and then improve it, such as being irresponsible with money, or exaggerating their success, and being too dependent on others for support. But people who do not understand their problems cannot make life meaningful.
