Ego Dissolution

Here are some recent words of wisdom from two of my favorite people. Michael Pollan is speaking about insights he learned while doing research for his new book, How to Change Your Mind.
 
Pollan: “We assume we’re identical to our ego…But I’m not identical to my ego – there’s another ground on which to stand and take in reality….These defenses you build up over your whole life: you don’t need them. And you can lower them and not face complete annihilation.”

Colbert: “So ego should be a controlled substance?!”


Quoted from Stephen Colbert’s interview
with author Michael Pollan on the Colbert Show 5/15/18.
