What does "self-esteem" actually mean? In this episode, Dr. Lisle goes over the history of the study of self-esteem. Then he explains his own discoveries of esteem processes including self-esteem. As it turns out, nobody can give you "self-esteem". Dr. Lisle explains that self-esteem is quite literally esteem of your self, so it is how you view yourself. So, what's called "low self-esteem" or "high self-esteem" is entirely based on how you view yourself. However, this view is not easily changed, as Dr. Lisle describes a concept called the "internal audience" - a sort of social meter sitting inside your mind that views your own behavior & effort in context with expectations. When you impress your 'internal audience' through diligent effort, you feel higher self-esteem. In this episode, Dr. Lisle describes what you can do to impress your internal audience and therefore improve your self-esteem.
