CHAPTER

Embracing Interdependence: The Illusion of Self

This chapter explores the inspiration behind 'How to Lose Yourself' and the importance of integrating diverse non-Western philosophies, particularly Buddhist concepts of selflessness.

The authors advocate for recognizing our interdependence as a pathway to fostering compassion, joy, and a deeper moral understanding in society.
