About this episode
Many of us spend a lot of time feeling self-conscious and comparing ourselves to others. Why do we judge ourselves so relentlessly? Why do we strive so hard to be special or successful or to avoid feeling rejected? In this episode, Dr. Ron Siegel shares why we get caught in the habit of endless self-evaluation and how to break it. You will learn to step back from obsessing so much about how you measure up and instead learn to accept the Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary. Build stronger connections with others and get more joy out of life when you embrace who you are as you are.
