Description - Ego Trip by Glynn Harrison
A noted British psychiatrist thoughtfully and biblically critiques our cultural understanding of self-esteem; and then provides a way forward in Christ which leads to true significance. In Ego trip, psychiatrist Glynn Harrison takes aim at one of Western society's most entrenched ideologies: self-esteem. He charts the rise of this ubiquitous value, arguing that the "science" underlying it is flawed, that there is little evidence efforts to promote self-esteem work, and that, in its popular form of "boosterism," self-esteem promotion comes with hazardous and unwanted side effects. Furthermore, he explores whether there is a more biblically and psychologically secure approach to big questions of significance and worth. Readers will be intrigued, challenged, and quite possibly freed by Dr. Harrison's conclusion: Compared with the failed ideology of self-esteem, the gospel offers the ultimate "bigger-than-your-ego" trip.
