Special Series: Self Discovery is Not Self Promotion or Self Achievement


Episode 7


Resonate? Speak to you? Hit home? Tell us.

Why do we feel defensive when someone points out something unflattering about us, but eagerly absorb compliments? This episode explores TheProfessor's teaching about the crucial difference between genuine self-discovery and the performance-based self-promotion that dominates our culture. Discover why most of us aren't actually trying to know ourselves but are instead selling an image, how the fear of being "found out" turns learning into a minefield, and what it means to approach self discovery with genuine curiosity rather than ego protection. Learn why "to get to see it is more important than what you see" and how shifting from accomplishment-based learning to continuous discovery can transform shame into gratitude and defensiveness into openness.
