Episode Overview
- Embracing our humanity can reduce mental suffering.
- Play is essential for feeling alive and connected.
- Collaboration and innovation are key human traits.
- Societal labels often exacerbate mental suffering.
- Reconnecting with our true selves is crucial for well-being.
Play is really the thing that kind of brings forward our sense of being alive.
In this thought-provoking episode of Brain Shaman, host Michael Waite sits down with Ross Ellenhorn, an author and healthcare pioneer, to explore the essence of being human. They discuss how embracing our humanity—through meaning, autonomy, play, and connection—can significantly reduce mental suffering and help us reconnect with our true selves.
The conversation delves into the forces that dehumanize us, such as alienation, conformity, and judgment, and how reclaiming our innate ability to innovate and collaborate can bring us back to life. Ellenhorn passionately argues that play is a fundamental part of our humanity, allowing us to see the world as malleable and full of possibilities. He also critiques the way society labels and commodifies individuals, often exacerbating mental suffering rather than alleviating it.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deeper aspects of the human condition and finding ways to live a more connected and meaningful life.
