The essence of a meaningful life revolves around the legacy we leave through our connections and contributions to others. Our lives are enriched by the social constructs formed within our communities, emphasizing that our existence gains significance through the impact we make on those around us. True fulfillment emerges from the desire to serve and uplift others, ensuring they feel valued and respected. A life dedicated to service not only enhances our own meaning but also fosters a better world for everyone.
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.
