The Ultimate Self-Deception

What this episode covers

In this video, we explore the concept of *spiritual narcissism*—how practices meant to transcend the ego, like yoga and meditation, can ironically feed it. Drawing from Scott Barry Kaufman’s article in *Scientific American* and Ariane Resnick's piece from *Verywell Mind*, we unravel the "Ultimate Ego Trap." Are you truly on a path of enlightenment, or have you fallen into a subtler form of self-enhancement? Discover how ego can hijack spirituality, making you feel superior while disguising itself as personal growth.
