One of the arguments I make in The Shape of Joy is that much of our mental health crisis can be placed upon the widespread assumption that mental health flows from cultivating self-esteem.
Thank you, Richard. If I'm allowed to inject a little humor into such an important subject, I have often felt that if I really want to jinx a day all I have to do is start messing around with positive thinking. On the serious side, I can't always conjure up self esteem...but I know how to say "thank you"...which is one of the reasons I still believe in God...I need someone to hear it.
