Episode 35: Selfish, Selfless, Oneness

In this episode, Bill and Marty discuss about the intricate balance between being selfish and selfless. They discuss the concept of 'wise selfishness,' a theory introduced by the Dalai Lama, and how it exposes the false binary between self-interest and altruism. The conversation touches on personal anecdotes, philosophical insights, and real-world examples, ultimately leading to a profound exploration of connection, unity, and what it truly means to be 'self.'
