Description

The Myth of Self-Esteem: Finding Happiness and Solving Problems in America by John P. Hewitt seeks to describe, interpret, and criticize the contemporary American fascination with self-esteem and its historical roots. Hewitt critically examines the concept of self-esteem as a cultural myth in the context of American societal values. The author provides a penetrating, sometimes amusing, look at how self-esteem is linked to the basic world-view of Americans.
