The concept of self in different cultures

This podcast explores how different cultures have unique ways of perceiving the concept of self. In the Western world, there is often an implicit belief that individuals have a set personality and are limited in their ability to change themselves. However, in India, there is a different perspective that views the self as malleable and changeable. The Indian conception of the self sees it as a machine that can be dismantled, modified, and reconstructed. By understanding the mechanisms of the self, individuals can intentionally curate and reshape their own identities, personalities, and lives.
