Ep11 -- You Can't Have Too Much F'ing Perspective
We're always scolded not to think that we're the center of the universe, but David Foster Wallace reminded us that we actually kinda are. Every experience we have unfolds with us at the center of it, but we get into trouble when we forget that EVERYONE ELSE is also at the center of their own universes.
This week, we look at how improper perspective-taking can get us into trouble, and learn a few techniques to help us find a more balanced, inclusive perspective that's not only good for the rest of the world, but ultimately good for us, too.
