This is about authenticity, this is about connection, this is about finding a place of dignity in the world, regardless of what label you present to the world in, and that's possible even in This Day and age, absolutely.
Imagine having it all—wealth, fame, and power—yet still feeling empty inside. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', William C. Moyers sits down with Paul Hokemeyer, PhD, a psychotherapist who works with the rich and famous, to discuss his book 'Fragile Power: Why Having Everything Is Never Enough'. Hokemeyer reveals that insecurity, shame, and emotional pain are universal experiences, affecting everyone regardless of their social status or bank balance.
He argues that true fulfillment comes from empathy, which fosters genuine connections and authenticity. Hokemeyer dives into the importance of living an authentic life and finding purpose beyond material success. He also touches on overcoming ego and how neuroplasticity can help us create new paths for self-discovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction or simply seeking a more meaningful life, this episode offers valuable insights into the human condition and the power of empathy.
