0:00.0	It feels a little bit like a curse, I think, of driven people to have high expectations.
0:06.3	How can people who are always very hard on themselves learn to build up their self-esteem a little
0:10.8	bit more?
0:12.9	I don't know self-esteem is the answer.
0:15.5	I don't think it's bad to be hard on yourself, as long as you also celebrate when the
0:19.6	victories happen.
0:20.7	But, you know, so many people will tell you, I have poor self-esteem because when I was a kid,

1:03.2	And the more you do things that are incredibly difficult, and especially things that are meaningful,
1:07.1	meaning they're not just about yourself, the higher that esteem would be. I think the most
1:11.7	important thing for self-esteem is to find something you care about more than yourself. As long as you're in
1:16.0	your own head, the nature of the mind is reductionism, right? Good, bad, right, wrong, all those types of things.
