As children we were probably taught that being selfish was a great evil, to be avoided at all costs. Jungian analyst and author Bud Harris, however, feels that “sacred selfishness” can be a path to genuine self-love, forgiveness and the wholeness we crave.
In this episode, Andrew and Bud discuss
- How to value ourselves and live meaningful lives we love.
- How to become authentic humans, who give back vitality and hope to others.
- How to love others without losing ourselves.
- What true self-love and self-forgiveness mean.
Bud Harris, PhD, is one of the most prolific Jungian authors of our time. He has authored and co-authored over 20 books, and has been in the field of Jungian psychology for more than 40 years. After an early career in business, he experienced a call to become a Jungian analyst, and moved to Zurich, Switzerland, for his training. Now in his 80s, he lives and practices in North Carolina.
