Don't worry what people think

In this podcast, we look at the impact of being overly attached to others’ opinions of us. Gen Lekma examines how constantly seeking external validation creates a fragile sense of self that’s vulnerable to criticism and rejection. We see that when our self-worth depends on others’ approval, we develop chronic anxiety about how we’re being perceived. By understanding the way social anxiety develops , we can begin the journey toward a more relaxed life where we make choices aligned with our values rather than being driven by fears of disapproval or rejection. Based on the much loved Buddhist text Advice from Atisha’s Heart. Available from Tharpa Publications
