The Six Pillars Of Self-Esteem. Even if you think you already have high self-esteem, there's no such thing as too much self-esteem. Someone here on HN first made me aware of it. It's such a great framework for self improvement. I've read it 3 or 4 times and did all of the exercises the first 2 times.


What was the result of doing so? I'm genuinely curious.


I’m way more honest about my values and whether my actions align with those values. When there’s an inconsistency between my actions and values I either realize that the value is not actually a priority and I have the peace of mind to let it go, or I’m motivated to change my actions to align with my values.


From other discussions of the book, I’ve heard it is inflected with libertarian politics. Did you find that distracting while reading it?


It's slightly distracting but it's definitely a don't throw the baby out with the bathwater situation for me. I can see how it'd be easy to take in the book's ideas and get seduced into libertarianism, but I can personally testify that it's possible to read the book without subscribing to libertarianism.
