Psychology Was Wrong About Self-Esteem (2022)
About this episode
Is self-esteem really the key to a better life?
For years, psychologists believed increasing self-esteem would solve many of our greatest personal and social problems. But after decades of research, the evidence pointed in a different direction. In this episode, John Ortberg explores what Dallas Willard teaches in The Renovation of the Heart about the deeper human problem and why lasting transformation begins with truth, humility, and God's mercy.
Discover why the Christian path isn't about thinking more highly of yourself, but about receiving the grace that makes genuine change possible.
