In this modern age, we have everything at our fingertips. We are wealthier, healthier, and freer than ever before. So how come so many of us are so miserable? Why do we feel the constant urge to look for things outside ourselves—like people, possessions, and addictions—to fill the void?  Today’s guest is Rabbi Manis Friedman. He says we all have an addiction to the self. We’re born with it. If we outgrow it successfully, we become mature people. If we don’t, we’ll be stuck. Even if we get rid of any acquired addiction, we will still have this curse—the addiction to the self. So how do we go beyond our own primal needs to feel at peace in our lives and with ourselves?  Find out in this episode! For the show notes and links in this episode go to omarpinto.com/234.
