Hi! I haven't read it, but I do believe we have taken self-esteem too far. I was a college professor and I told my students it is not true, contrary to what they are told, that they can "be anything they want to be." And my children, when they were in school, would even get rewards for showing up.

I don't know about narcissistic personality disorder being created, but I do think some folks are growing up expecting too much ("get what you deserve" commercials even play into that idea). I even had a student tell me that "the world owed (him) a living." I think he's in for a big awakening.
