This chapter explores the quest for personal meaning and identity, emphasizing the role of connections with others in shaping our sense of self. It highlights the significance of community and shared experiences in creating a mutual exchange of generosity and gratitude.
If you take away how others see you, how do you see yourself? Psychologist, author and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Brian Lowery argues that this question is so difficult to wrap our heads around because what we think of as our individual identity is actually a social construction. In this episode, he and Chris take us on a journey exploring the objective vs the subjective self, the performance of identity and how your view of others has a stronger sway than you realize.
