The Shmuz Live #303: Soul Needs

from The Shmuz · host JewishPodcasts.fm

Why does “just a little more” never feel like enough? Why do high achievers still feel restless and often collapse under their own success? In this hugely powerful shiur, Rabbi Shafier uncovers the hidden drive inside every human being: a hunger for greatness that can either elevate your life or subtly drive you crazy. He reveals why recognition is one of the deepest human needs, why a single compliment can be transformative, and why the most dangerous voice you’ll ever hear might be your own. If you’ve ever felt driven, dissatisfied, or ridiculously hard on yourself, this one will hit home.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
