selfish & selfless

In this week's episode, Brooke & Ben explore the duality of selfish & selfless. They get a little word-nerdy as they look at the different definitions and explore the traits of a truly selfish person.

They also explore the relationship between selfishness, selflessness and self-care, why single-mindedness (and by extension, neurodivergence) can read as being self-absorbed, before Ben quizzes Brooke on…shellfish.

They also talk about:

* why children and teenagers are often self-centred

* periods of life when we’re more likely to be selfish

* unaddressed resentment

* why knowing our personal values can help manage the balance

* the line between self-love and self-absorption

* QUIZ: name that shellfish!
