Self-Love vs. Self-Centeredness: Finding Balance for Better Brain Health

Self-love is the key to taking care of your brain and body. It's not about being self-centered, but about doing the right thing because you love yourself.
Ever wondered if self-care is just a fancy term for being self-centered? Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle this tricky question in this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast. They dive into the Greek concept of 'philautia', or self-love, explaining how it's not about being selfish but about nurturing yourself because you deserve it. Through the lens of brain development, they show how self-love can lead to a healthier, happier life.
The Amens discuss practical ways to create a supportive environment, especially for adolescents whose brains are still developing. They also share tips on defeating negative thoughts and how hormone therapy can be integrated with functional medicine for overall well-being. If you're looking to understand the fine line between self-care and self-centeredness, this episode is packed with insights that could change your perspective.
