159 Making Sense of Life's Contradictions, Pt. 5: Selfish vs. Unselfish

The Attracting Lasting Love Podcast: Mindful Wisdom and Relationship Insights on How to Find Your Life Partner and Soulmate

To lead meaningful and effective lives, we need to make sense of truths that appear to contradict each other, and that’s what this 6-part series of podcasts is all about. Each episode in the series seeks to improve our relationship and life skills by helping us find “the middle way,” or the balance between two truths that appear contradictory but actually aren’t.

So, in this episode, Roy discusses SELFISH and UNSELFISH. Separately, they are both true—we need to value our needs, but we also need to consider others—but together they seem contradictory, or at least it looks that way. But listen in and you will learn the critical life skill of finding the balance between the two.

You will learn…

…why unselfishness comes back to bite you;

…that narcissists and empaths are basically the same person and equally dysfunctional;

…why compromise is not a value of healthy relationships;

…how to shift a win/lose dynamic to a win/win dynamic;

…and much more!
