Unpacking 'Self': A Buddhist Take on Identity and Happiness

We've mentally taken apart objects into their parts. This way of existing that we perceive with our everyday senses is called conventional existence.
What makes you, well, you? Scott Snibbe tackles this profound question in 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment'. He dives into the intricate concept of 'self' through the lens of Buddhist philosophy. Are we just our bodies, minds, or perhaps something more elusive like a soul? This episode invites listeners to explore these questions deeply, using the Buddhist notion of emptiness to challenge our everyday perceptions of identity.
By breaking down the idea of an independent, unchanging 'I', Snibbe guides us to a richer understanding of our interconnectedness with the world and others. Through analytical meditation, he offers practical tools to see beyond our thoughts and feelings, cultivating a more compassionate and less attachment-driven life. If you've ever pondered the nature of your existence or sought a deeper sense of self, this episode is a must-listen.
