Just to get the discussion going, I found several links on a quick search of Judaism and the self. I'll post an excerpt on each. This is by no means exhaustive. And I'm certain there will be some overlap.... But just as a starter...
I'll add some excerpts from Frankl if it's not covered below...


1. Forum I: On the Ethics of Self in Judaism: Searching for the Middle Ground Between Selflessness and Selfishness.

2. The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-hatred, and the Jews (Jewish Encounters)

Mamet marshals his passion and mastery of language to argue that only religious observance is an authentic, non-self-hating expression of Judaism

3. Judaism: God-Conscious Self-Esteem
