Our society is obsessed with self-improvement. This was a major feature of how I related to reality for most of my life. As helpful as self-improvement can be, it also has a major shadow side that largely goes unexamined.
Implicit in the pursuit of self-improvement is that there is a deficit; that whatever or however your being is in this moment is not whole or complete. This keeps you grasping in a seemingly endless treadmill without ever reaching an enduring sense of completion or fulfillment.
Most people don’t really even know there is an alternative to the self-improvement paradigm. This is one of the main topics of today’s conversation with Steve March, the founder of Aletheia Coaching.
Some of my other favorite ideas include:
-
Why self-improvement on its own can be a trap
-
Striking the balance between self-improvement and self-unfoldment
-
How to practically embody a more unfoldment experience
-
Understanding how solutions and support often arise when we allow them vs. exert force
-
How shifting our attunement and unfoldment might be an answer to our current metacrisis
