YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMythologist Dr. Martin Shaw explains how we can develop presence – starting with shedding the persona we’ve worn since childhood.
In our brand new Mini Philosophy interview with Dr. Shaw, Jonny chatted with him about the different roles we play and the many stories of our lives.
Here, he explains that in youth, a fluid personality is essential for navigating social situations and forming relationships, which often involves adopting a “persona.”
However, as one matures, Dr. Shaw suggests that we transition from "persona" to "presence."
He suggests that those with the most presence have made a conscious decision to embrace the limits in their lives and have started to prioritize depth over relentless growth.
