Thanks for the great work.

I'm reading this in English and it really helped me understand self-esteem more clearly.

I really liked this definition: The mental stability or instability of each individual depends on the distance between his self-image and his ideals, and the severity of self-criticism.

Now I have 3 actionable variables that can be adjusted instead of struggling with a vague and undefined concept called self esteem.

Hey there!

Thank you so much for your kind words Jay!

I’m glad you found the definition useful (it really does break things down into more manageable parts, doesn’t it?). Originally, it´s freudian psychoanalytic ideas about Super-Ego, but I like to "translate" them to understandable concepts.

Understanding self-esteem through the lens of self-image, ideals, and self-criticism can definitely make it easier to work on each component rather than grappling with an abstract idea.

I hope these insights serve you well on your journey ;) If you want to dive deeper into any of these topics, feel free to reach out. Keep up the great work on yourself!
