The Esteem Motive

David Forbes

Chapter Chapter 14 in The Science of Why, 2015, pp 197-213 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Rodney Dangerfield built a career around his lack of it; Aretha Franklin got us on the dance floor with her demand for it; teenagers sometimes commit mayhem in pursuit of it. And “ordinary heroes” earn it day in and day out through their acts of integrity, authority, grace, and kindness.
