So why do self help books always have you list out things you're good at? Isn't that counter-productive if the person really isn't good at anything (by definition good = better than average)? I feel worse since I couldn't even compete the exercise! Satisfaction and contentment are very difficult for me. I was hoping for specific actions that worked for others who solved their low esteem issues. What did you find that finally broke through the barrier and led to real progress? Something specific you read? A certain method or activity?
