Ego: The Root of Suffering

The ego is on a quest. It needs to stand out and to feel special. To cope with the nagging doubt that "I am not enough," the ego seeks to enhance itself through identifying with content that communicates "more than you," and that diminishes others. In this episode, David shares practrical examples with Marcus of how the ego works in our daily life, why it is the cause of suffering in our lives, and how gratefulness is one way to silence the ego.
