UE #19: Our sense of self is an illusion
In this episode, I share a few exercises and arguments for our sense of self being an illusion. A bit philosophilcal this one, but I think you’ll like it. Let me know what you think!For more reading on this, I suggest Bruce Hood's The Self Illusion. Also noteworthy are Sam Harris' work in this area. A more thorough reading on the Buddisht argument would be Mark Siderit's book Buddhism as Philosophy. More on the ship of Theseus thought experiments is here.Website: sankalpgarud.orgListen on Spotify/iTunes/RSSSign up for the mailing list!Become a supporter of the showPlease share the podcast using the links below.
