"Accurate self-esteem includes a knowledge of our weaknesses and limitations. It allows us to acknowledge when we need the help of others, as well as when we can do independently and well."
The Self-Esteem Trap We've all repeated the mantra "We just want you to be happy..." in the face of conflicts with our growing and grown children and perhaps with our best friends. We may have even said it to ourselves. What is happiness? Why is it so hard to achieve? Is there something about being American that makes us especially hungry ...for happiness? This presentation will unpack the historical, cultural, social and psychological context of happiness, especially in relation to contemporary parenting practices and their generational roots.
