“Is there a real you?”
My guest on this week’s episode of The Lifestyle First Podcast is Julian Baggini
Julian is a philosopher, TEDx speaker and also the author, co-author or editor of over 20 books including, How The World Thinks, The Virtues of the Table, The Ego Trick and, most recently, The Great Guide
This is an inspiring, thought-stimulating conversation.
We discuss why identity matters in society.
We highlight the connection between identity and values in being able to navigate the world
We talk about imposter syndrome and authenticity and the disconnect between actions and values
We uncover historical philosophies that we are a collection of our experiences and a sum of our ever-changing parts
We talk about self-discovery and stretch to both discover and develop our capacities.
We explore the role of personality and character tests.
“I is a verb disguised as a noun.”
1. The one question we discuss is “Is there a real you?”
2. The two references we look at are
(i) Baggini, Julia. The Ego trick. Granta Books. 2012
(ii) Martin, Raymond and Barresi, John, The Rise and Fall of Soul and Self: An Intellectual History of Personal Identity. New York: Columbia University Press, 2006
3. The three actions to take are
· Do an introspective exercise and observe yourself thinking to discover that there is no core "you".
· Make a list of what you think are your main character and personality traits and see how often these do not capture the way you behave
· Ask people who know you in different contexts to say what they think your key characteristics are, including at least one negative one.
Which of these 3 actionable lifestyle tips will you implement?

Social connectivity is directly linked to longevity. The blue zones are areas in the world with the longest living people and these zones have been shown to have one thing in common – community spirit, belonging and connectedness. * * * * * In this episode I explore the nature of societal definitions of masculinity & femininity with founder of Nobul Men, Simon Wisdom. We discuss what these definitions mean to our closest relationship, the one with ourselves. * * * * * As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are: 1. Focus on your personal brand & know what your personal values & boundaries are. 2. Recognise the ability to ‘dance’ with each other. Our energies are constantly changing & recognising that in our relationships will make those relationships more fulfilling. 3. Attraction is always in ‘flow’ - there is no right or wrong answer & intimacy is a constance dance as we try to understand each others needs in a relationship. * * * * * Find Out More/Contact/Follow: You can find out more about Simon & his work at https://nobul-men.newzenler.com Or get in touch at [email protected] You can discover more & connect with Dr. Alka at the links below: Newsletter: https://dralkapatel.com/mailinglist Website: https://dralkapatel.com/ Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dralkapat... https://www.facebook.com/dralkapateluk https://www.instagram.com/dralkapateluk https://twitter.com/dralkapateluk * * * * * DISCLAIMER: This content does not constitute or substitute personal one-to-one professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
