About this episode
In this podcast Eckhart discusses how we define our personal identity. He says it usually begins
with the physical body, then possessions and achievements. He says we may have a long list of
accomplishments - even personal wealth, but we’re not satisfied; we’re still not good enough.
Eckhart explains defining ourselves in these superficial terms is a trap and just another form of
ego. Our true identity is beyond that.
