Upbuilding The Self

CHAPTER

Navigating the Ego-Self Dialectic

This chapter delves into the complex interplay between the ego and the self, discussing the challenges of recognizing and embodying one's authentic self amidst the powerful influence of the ego. It explores the process of self-awareness, identity realization, and the struggle to transcend ego-driven behaviors that hinder personal fulfillment. The conversation navigates through concepts of kindness, Enneagram typology, and the journey towards acting selflessly from the true self rather than seeking validation through ego-centric actions.
