Seligman ("What You Can Change and What You Can't")has this idea about self-esteem being a by product of our commerce with the world. When our self esteem is low, what is needed is to improve our commerce with the world, and our self esteem will look after itself. This makes sense to me because I am so reactive to the kinds of contact I have. Sometimes I feel blessed, and sometimes not at all. I should choose my friends carefully then?
