New! Hollow Kids in downloadable PDF format.
Hollow Kids exposes the fallacies, if not outright recklessness, of the self-esteem movement. The book opens with a surprising look at the problems seen in adolescents today as compared to 30 or 40 years ago, documenting the increases in depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, and crime; the decline in values; the diminishment of school achievement. Chapter 1 describes how Self-Esteem promoters pronounced low self-esteem as the primary cause of all these problems, a contention we all soon accepted as truth, thus opening the floodgates for thousands of books, videos, tapes, and lesson plans designed to bolster everyone’s self-esteem.
