There are two questions that every human being, with rare exceptions, asks him- or herself quite often in life. The rare exceptions are the persons who know the answer to the first of these questions, at least to a significant extent. But everyone asks the second, sometimes in wonder, sometimes in despair. These two questions are: How am I to understand myself?--and: How am I to understand other people? To both questions, the principles of self-esteem provide an important key. If you know what a person ties his self-esteem to, you can understand a good deal of about his motivation.
