“The self is incompatible with freedom the way most people understand it because the self is a constraint,” says Professor Brian Lowery. “The ‘you’ you’re talking about is actually the relationships you have, the social interactions you have, and the cultural context you exist in.”
In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lowery sits down with host Matt Abrahams to talk about his new book, Selfless: The Social Creation of You. Lowery argues that because there is no essential “self,” it opens us to explore who we can be and who we allow others to be. They also discuss research that shows how asking deeply personal questions can be a tool for building stronger relationships. And finally, Lowery shares a bit from his journey developing a new aspect of self: becoming an author.
Brian Lowery is the co-director of the Stanford Institute on Race and the host of the podcast, Know What You See. #podcast #thinkfasttalksmart
