Summary of Nathaniel Branden's The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 We cannot be indifferent to our self-evaluation. We can run from this knowledge if it makes us uncomfortable. We can shrug it off, evade it, declare that we are only interested in practical matters, and escape into baseball or the evening news.

#2 Self-esteem is the experience of being appropriate to life and the demands of life. It is the feeling of being worthy, deserving, and entitled to assert our needs and wants, achieve our goals, and enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

#3 Self-esteem is the value we place on our own abilities and qualities. It allows us to feel better about ourselves, and it allows us to live better lives. It allows us to respond to challenges and opportunities more resourcefully and appropriately.

#4 There are positive correlations between healthy self-esteem and a variety of other traits that bear directly on our capacity for achievement and happiness. The more solid our self-esteem, the better equipped we are to cope with troubles that arise in our personal lives or careers.
