Overcoming personality disorders- wise advice from Martin Luther King

We all know MLK's I Have  A Dream", buthis less-erknown ssermons on Overcoming Personality Disorders are actually a psychologists' dream, for thier wise advice.

See my article at:  http://www.blackstarnews.com/global-politics/others/lessons-about-overcoming-personality-problems-from-martin.

Basically:

•       Overcome Inferiority Complex.  This is imprtant, says King, given a survey showing that 90% of college students admitted to feeling "less than."  Says King: “Accept yourself as you actually are. Don’t try to be anybody else except yourself”. He quotes Carl Jung, a famous psychologist. He adds a car metaphor: “When the Ford learns to accept itself as a Ford, it can do things that the Cadillac could never do.”

•       Overcoming Depression. Says King:  “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

•       Conquer narcissism. Says King:  “Give yourself to something outside of yourself, like family, friends or a job. Find a great cause you can become absorbed in and give your life to.”
