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.
