Social Development > Self-Development

I think there’s a misguided belief that self-development makes us better people. But if we want to be better people we have to focus on others, not ourselves. At some point, I realized this and changed tack. Rather than ask what I needed, I asked what my community needed. ¹

The focus on self-improvement has become a guiding principle in our culture. However, despite our efforts to reflect on ourselves, we have never felt more disconnected from each other.
