Self-Knowledge: Challenges and Promises

from The Curious Mind · host Gabriel Ellis, PhD

I explore the concept of self-knowledge, tracing its roots from Socrates and Hegel to Buddhism. At the heart of this discussion is the question of which thoughts, feelings, and habits truly belong to our "I"—and which are merely external, learned patterns. I explain why change often only becomes possible when we detach our identity from certain emotions and core beliefs. Additionally, I examine the crucial difference between healthy inner freedom and mere emotional self-control.
