Navigating the Hungry Hippo Within
This chapter explores the metaphor of the 'hungry hippo' to illustrate inner struggles and impulses reflective of the 'hungry ghost' in Buddhism. The speakers discuss the significance of self-awareness and practices like therapy and meditation in managing these underlying cravings while sharing personal anecdotes about their journeys toward self-improvement. They humorously connect hypnotherapy and magical performances, leading to reflections on personal growth, spirituality, and the balance between ambition and fulfillment.
