Show Notes

In a world obsessed with healing, boundaries, and becoming your "highest self," it's easy to lose sight of something essential: other people. In this episode, we explore how the self-help industry may be quietly fueling self-absorption—and why the science (and ancient wisdom) tells us that true happiness lies not in endless self-focus, but in connection, compassion, and turning toward others. If you've been doing all the "inner work" but still feel disconnected, this conversation might be exactly what you need.
