Being Human Is Weird

Being human is inherently strange—we're infinite, boundless awareness crammed into a small body, juggling emails, money, and relationships while forgetting who we really are. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, Ryan explores why life feels so hard, drawing on a Talmudic teaching about the soul forgetting itself at birth, and compares our everyday experience to a nightmare that feels completely real until we wake up.
