In order to be our best selves and get to the root of who we are, we need to take both an “outside-in” and “inside-out” approach. In this episode, Hari and Michael dive into Hari’s inspiration and key insights from his piece, The Two Sides of Working on Yourself. They explore how a superiority complex comes from the same place as an inferiority complex, the costs of working on the ego without working on the self (and vice-versa), and the challenges that we experience when working on each. Hari also shares four key steps in working on the ego and the critical practices to work on the self.
