412 - The Age of Self-Esteem

The Symbolic World

This is August's patron video that I decided to make public. In it I explore the modern idea of self-esteem—where it came from, how it shapes our culture, and why it so often leads us into confusion and disorder. I contrast this with the Christian vision of humility, which offers a path to true freedom and joy.  YouTube version: https://youtu.be/e__8eVCgjCE Please consider becoming a patron to get exclusive access to videos like this: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe 📖 Let's take our stories back.
