About this ebook

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

#1 Your self-concept is based on your memory, and how you organize and think about those memories. You can't possibly think of everything, so you have to select some aspects, and ignore others. If you think of yourself as intelligent, you think of times when you demonstrated that, and ignore the times when you misunderstood or made a mistake.

#2 Your self-concept is a map of who you are. It is a simplified version of the territory that it describes, and it is useful because it helps you get around in unfamiliar territory and find the things that interest you. It can never fully describe who you are, since that would be too complex and cumbersome.

#3 Self-esteem is the result of your evaluation of your self-concept. If you act in a kind way, and you value kindness, you can feel good about it and have high self-esteem. However, if you are cruel, and you value cruelty, you will have low self-esteem.

#4 Self-esteem is the result of an evaluation of the self-concept. If you don’t deal with the self-concept, but just try to help people feel good about themselves directly, you will not achieve your goals.

    #5

    When you link the evaluation to behavior, the child knows what behaviors the parent values. The child can then have positive self-esteem as a result. If you look at some of the methods that people have used to raise self-esteem, you will find that the more useful ones actually build self-concept.

    The escape from oneself is only temporary, and when they return, their lives are usually a bit worse because of the consequences of what they did during the escape or the opportunities they missed. Other repetitive self-destructive behavior is a sign of low intelligence or ignorance.

    #7

    Your values are generalizations about what kinds of experiences are important to you. You value experiences that feel good, and negatively value the ones that feel bad. You may find that your values are in conflict with each other.

    #8

    Values are the things that are important to us, and we may acquire them simply because they are a part of our learned culture. However, we may also acquire values that aren’t appropriate for us because they are a generally accepted part of our culture.

    A heterarchy is like a committee, but one in which everyone can talk and listen to each other simultaneously. The various elements of this system communicate with each other, and contribute to a consensus about which perceptions and activities are most relevant at a particular moment.
