Transcending Mindfulness: 4 | Self-Esteem v. No-Self
Are the Buddha's teachings on the self reconcilable with the modern notion of self-esteem?
Modern psychology talks about the importance of self-esteem and yet the Buddha taught a doctrine called - No-Self.
Are these two approaches reconcilable?
Martin Goodson, co-founder of The Zen Gateway is joined by Jamie Shavdia, psychotherapist and musician (his latest album 'Truth Lamp' can be found now on Spotify).
Together they explore what both these concepts mean and how they are used therapeutically and as part of a spiritual path.
