Why Self-Hatred Makes No Sense | Matthew Brensilver 2d6y3m

This episode explores a compelling Buddhist question: does self-hatred, or self-love, make sense if the self is an illusion? Matthew Brensilver, PhD, is a clinical social worker and experienced teacher of meditation retreats. He also worked at an organization called Mindful Schools, which teaches teachers how to teach meditation.  This episode also explores: how and why to view your anger with skepticism the relationship between self-love and personal ethics what to do if you think you’re a good person but have no interest in changing your behavior to get better how to handle a nagging sense of moral un-justifiability and how Matthew has arrived at a place of relative peace with his own mortality.
