The Philosophy of Self-Esteem: Confidence, Ego, and the Self

This saturday we aim to talk about the nature of self-esteem and confidence through a philosophical lens. What does it mean to truly value oneself? Is confidence a virtue or a delusion? Drawing on thinkers like Nietzsche, Sartre, and Buddhist philosophy, we’ll question the roots of self-worth, the role of society in shaping identity, and whether the self is something to build or let go of. Bring your thoughts, doubts, and insights, this one’s gonna be about the self behind the self itself.
