Episode #28: Why you do the things you do.

from Intellectual Freedom Podcast · host David D. Hopkins, PhD

Society conditions us to conform. A complex civilization runs most efficiently when most people conform to a life of complacency, while the few push the boundaries of excellence. Most people willingly give in to this societal pressure. The beginning of living a fulfilled life is to understand the condition of your own mind. Most people, unfortunately, walk around stuck in a meek and timid state, unwilling to push beyond comfort zones, living an 'OK' life. A 'safe' life. I often speak to my students about why people, cultures, and societies 'do the things they do.' All of us have the capacity to figure out what is holding us back. Most just don't take the time, they are too 'busy' with life. Family, bills, health issues are real, but no matter what the circumstance a person can reach their best life, that elusive 'self-actualization' in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is possible for those willing to go deeper. This podcast will discuss regardless of age, economic situation, race, or gender how anyone can discover their true, full potential.Send us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
