Is Your Self Esteem Getting You Far in Life?

Roy balmeister said there's no evidence that self esteem causes good outcomes. Tim beck, who is the creator of psychotherapy, modern cognitherapy has a grand theory for why people have depression and anxiety. He says when you have sadness, it is because you perceive a loss of self esteem. When you are angry, it's because you feel like somebody has threatened your self esteem. And when you have happiness and joy it is when you have an increase in your self esteem.
