Getting called out on a mistake and having to confront this notion of ourselves as good people can actually turn into a positive experience with an impact far beyond our own self image. Here's another clip from dolly's talk. Ok, we're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, dolly talks to us about what skales we need to pick up to really get into that learning mode. And we are back.
Most of us want to be good people–but what even makes a person “good?” And is our fixation on whether or not we ARE good holding us back from becoming even better? Dolly Chugh is an author and social psychologist who studies the psychology of good people. In this episode, she explains how ethical behavior is full of complexity and paradox, and shares insights on why even striving to be a “good-ish” person can actually help us grow into the better, nicer person we want to become.
