The Pillars of Self-Esteem - Part Three - Self-Responsibility & Self-Assertiveness | Ep. 15

Pillars 3 & 4 of Nathaniel Branden's Self-Esteem work

The 3-part series has now become a 5-part series! Too much value and I want to cover everything in detail.

Nathaniel Branden spent his life working on Self-Esteem and how we can work to increase it. This series covers his work based on his book, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem.

You can access the first two episodes here and here. Make sure to start there if you haven’t yet, as we build on the concepts from previous episodes as we progress through the series.

What’s Happening in Today’s Episode

As we go deeper into the work of Nathaniel Branden, the pillars continue to build upon one another. These practices are the foundation of how we can build strength within ourselves. High self-esteem is crucial to success in today’s hyper-competitive, information-based society.

Learning these practices and applying them to our lives can empower us in ways we never thought possible. It’s one thing to think about these things, but it’s a whole new game when we begin to take daily action to support who we are and what we desire.

A quick highlight of the main topics discussed:

  • Understanding self-responsibility

  • Defining what is and isn’t ours to manage

  • Action implications of taking responsibility

  • Impact of productivity

  • The moral principle of self-responsibility

  • Understanding self-assertiveness

  • Defining the limits of self-assertiveness

  • Authenticity and the connection to assertiveness

  • Fear of ourselves and our power

  • The courage to be all we are

Here’s a link to the sentence stems discussed in the show.

By learning about self-esteem and understanding how it impacts our lives, we can begin to work to improve it. Self-esteem is an achievement, and it’s within grasp for each of us willing to do the work.

This reality is both terrifying and empowering. We can do something about it, but it’s challenging work that takes time and effort.

I also look to learn from the great minds throughout history, and in today’s show, we discuss Nathanial Branden and his work on self-esteem. There’s so much to his work I decided to do a 5-part series to get deep into these concepts.

The goal is to find things that resonate to be used in your life today, so studying the various concepts of self-mastery will hopefully give you the tools needed to tap into your highest potential.
