Becoming Who You Truly Are (Self-Realisation)

Life is a journey of self-realisation, of understanding and discovering who we truly are, and of maximising our potential. While this might be a life long journey, one can be closer or further from one's true self.  This video analyses self-realisation from a philosophical and psychological perspective. Starting from the father of existentialism, Søren Kierkegaard, where we’ll discuss the self, despair and the leap of faith. Sigmund Freud as the father of psychoanalysis, Carl Rogers’ self-concept and Abraham Maslow’s self-actualisation.   We’ll then discuss some aspects of eastern philosophy and their notion of self (Buddhism, Taoism, Advaita Vedanta), concluding with Carl Jung’s analytical psychology and process of individuation.👑 Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠⁠—Support the work☕⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠👕 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠—For deeper study📜 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠📚 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠⁠💡 ⁠⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠✍️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠—Elsewhere🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠📷 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading ▶ The Sickness unto Death - Kierkegaardhttps://amzn.to/3j8oLrd▶ A Theory of Human Motivation - Maslowhttps://amzn.to/2WYNo3n▶ On Becoming a Person - Rogershttps://amzn.to/3C2nOtH▶ Tao Te Ching – Taoism https://amzn.to/3nhVNdb▶ Man and His Symbols - Junghttps://amzn.to/3lYyz94▶ Memories, Dreams, Reflections – Jung https://amzn.to/3dAcD0z▶ Modern Man In Search of a Soul – Junghttps://amzn.to/2G3mhw7🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
