Programs to raise self-esteem fall woefully short
Of course, self-esteem and school or job performance are correlated. But long overdue scientific scrutiny points out the foolishness of supposing that people's opinion of themselves can be the cause of achievement. Rather, high-esteem is the result of good performance.I wish the response to this was not, "wow!" but was instead, "duh."
