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. It delves into how attachment to a distinct self leads to suffering and moral conflicts, ultimately framing the notion of the self as an illusion that hinders genuine connections. The authors advocate for recognizing our interdependence as a pathway to fostering compassion, joy, and a deeper moral understanding in society.
