Listen "The Dunning-Kruger Effect Of The Ego"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores how the Dunning-Kruger effect and self-deception lead us to overestimate abilities and build fragile identities. It explains why projecting an idealized self creates anxiety, depression, and a fear of being exposed.
The host argues that real confidence comes from honesty and alignment between who you are and how you act, not from maintaining flattering illusions. Authentic change requires deep introspection, time, and the willingness to lose what was built on inauthenticity.
Ultimately, the episode calls listeners to take personal responsibility for their inner work: face your truth, become more authentic, and accept the difficult but necessary process of real growth.
