Bringing out the best in others and thereby ourselves
"Bringing out the best in others and thereby in ourselves."

“OUR PERSONAL HISTORIES: HOW OUR BORROWED IDEAS AND STORIES AFFECT OUR ETHICS” with. Bart Worden – Executive Director, AEU and Leader, Ethical Culture Society of Westchester
As much as we may like to think of ourselves as individuals with our own thoughts, ideas, and feelings, we create our individual selves out of the milieu we live in. Our thoughts are limited by the languages we have acquired, our ideas are (at least for the most part) based upon the work of others, and even our feelings are greatly informed by our culture. In this talk Bart will explore some of the benefits and obstacles of our “borrowed” individuality and offers some ideas for making the most of our situations.
