Being More Open to People Who Think Differently

from Being You and Free · host Shilpa Kapilavai

In this episode, I reflect on something I read in How to See Yourself as You Really Are by the Dalai Lama that stayed with me long after I finished reading it.It made me think about why people struggle to connect with those who have different beliefs, and how understanding another person’s faith or philosophy can sometimes feel threatening to our own identity.Does learning about other people’s beliefs and respecting them make us any lesser?If you prefer to read, you can do so here: This is a public episode.
