Waking Up Is Not Enough Episode 10 - Stages of Adult Development (Part 2)
What does it mean to be impulsive from the perspective of how you see yourself and other people? When does this way of acting and thinking first arise in human development and how does it change and adapt to self-control and self-care? Why is impulsiveness considered “pre-conformist” or reactive and predictable? In this episode, you will learn about how your self-care can lack concern and compassion for others and under what circumstances your awakening can lead simply lead to more stereotyping and self-promotion.

Welcome to Waking Up Is Not Enough: Flourishing in the Human Space!
When you peek into the cosmic unity of existence and feel the love and inspiration of awakening, what happens next? Whether it’s through meditation, spiritual practice, Near-Death Experience (NDE), ingesting a mind-altering substance, or being born again, you don’t get a map for improving your messy life. In this podcast, Polly Young-Eisendrath and Michael Berger draw on expertise in science, psychology, adult development, psychedelics, NDEs, dreams, and Buddhist practice in conversations about compassion, resilience, responsibility, kindness, and development after awakening. You will learn how to chart a new path for flourishing in the human space in which waking up is important, but not enough, and growing up is never finished.
