Listen "Education, Self-Esteem and Academic Integrity"

Episode Synopsis

In this show, we explore some of the ideas found within Tal Ben-Shahar's doctoral thesis (Harvard, 2004). Ben-Shahar, internationally acclaimed author of "Happier" and master teacher, argues that there are two components of self-esteem: dependent self-esteem and independent self esteem. Students working with the Center for Professional at Personal Ethics at Central Michigan University discuss these concepts and their relevance to academic integrity.
