Book excerpt: The self-esteem fetishists who populate today's self-help circuit often contend that pleasure and unconditional self-regard are the keys to a happy life. But in this series of classic sermons, renowned Unitarian pastor and theologian John Mather Austin asserts that it is the structure supplied by self-imposed limits, responsibilities, and a commitment to serving others that makes life truly meaningful.
