Why You Focusing on Yourself is Better for the World #42
Manage episode 320455026 series 2868587
Self-focus is too often confused with selfishness and self indulgence. Yet it is not so. Say, when there's an emergency, airline personnel always advise that you put on your own oxygen mask before you try to help others with theirs. Right? So why do we guilt trip ourselves or others over boundaries we create for ourselves? Isn't there such a thing as over-empathy?
