Can an excess of self-esteem be the worst obstacle?

Self-esteem, which can blur into narcissism, is eventually debilitating to the client as it is to those around her/him. Self-entitlement, and a lack of perseverance are right up there also in terms of tough obstacles to confront.

But I'd also add that a good sense of self is healthy: that sense that says you have worth, you have things to contribute, and if you try, try, and try you'll do fine.
