As the theory goes, all of us have hidden foundations to our personalities. Those foundations start getting built early. And they most always have cracks in them. Places where things did not come together as perfectly as we may have liked.
Perhaps you have heard the saying “you go through life comparing your inside to everybody’s else’s outside.”
Why do we do that? Are there any particularly effective ways to deal with those cracks in our hidden foundations?
We discuss with a philosopher, a therapist, and a cultural scholar.
