Myth Of Self Esteem by Albert Ellis

This concise, argumentative work challenges the idea that people must constantly boost fragile self-esteem to be mentally healthy, arguing that chasing approval and overvaluing oneself leads to anxiety, anger, and avoidance; instead it promotes rational self-acceptance, disputing irrational beliefs, taking responsibility for actions, and focusing on realistic, action-oriented goals and unconditional acceptance of one’s fallibility as the healthier route to emotional well-being.
