Why do we need other people's approval?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi dissect why we crave the approval of others, questioning whether it stems from emptiness, a need for connection, or a distorted sense of self. Listeners will gain insights into managing this desire by understanding its roots and cultivating self-acceptance, allowing them to act more authentically.📖 Pay Attention by C.
