How Your Ego Tricks You: The Truth About Self-Delusion (#3)
About this episode
What is the ego? Is it real or illusory? If it is illusory, how does it perpetuate itself?
We'll explore these questions and more as I take you on a whirlwind tour of your ego's biggest self-deception mechanisms. These make you inauthentic, obnoxious and forever unfulfilled.
We also cover very practical solutions you can begin to implement right now to free yourself from the ego's seductive grip, along with big-picture insights into why the ego exists and how we can functionally live it out.
