The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Tim Keller is one of the best books I have ever read, and the main idea is that we strive to live in the self-forgetful spot between feeling inferior and superior, where we gain freedom from self-centeredness.

The goal is to hit that sweet spot between these where you are free from self deprecation AND self obsession -- and therefore you are able to simply think of yourself less.
