[personaldev] Build self-esteem by ditching a bad self-esteem workshop

[mattbell]

A friend of mine recently attended a three hour workshop on boosting self-esteem.  The workshop turrned out to be very poorly attended and not very good.  After an hour and a half, my friend decided that the workshop wasn't for her, so she politely got up and left.  She came home feeling great.

So yeah, to build self-esteem, call bullshit on something big and authoritative that isn't living up to your needs.  Your time is more important.

I felt great the one time I walked out on a movie, as well as the time my date and I walked out on a bad meal.
