#80 From Self-Improvement to Unfoldment with Steve March

Have you been trying and failing to make improvements in yourself? Perhaps the problem isn’t with you, but with the entire approach of self-development as a way to ‘fix’ ourselves vs letting our best selves shine through. Join us as we discover with Steve March, founder of Aletheia, how shifting focus from a deficiency-oriented goal of self-improvement to a fulfilment approach using Unfoldment can put us on the liberating path of self-discovery and personal growth.

In This Episode

• (00:54) Self-development pre-supposes some deficiency to be rectified whereas Unfolding strives to uncover what's already there
• (07:13) Today's crises are intertwined and therefore resistant to traditional problem-solving approaches that try to identify and treat problems in isolation
• (09:47) The Unfolding paradigm might help resolve these intertwined crises as it helps reveal interconnected truths that are already there
• (13:27) Unfolding allows us to meet our personal suffering from a place of wholeness vs deficiency
• (16:40) Our economy is fueled by our sense of deficiency and Unfolding could help us live more sustainably
• (20:43) Unfolding happens in the context of relationships, so it shifts the locus away from individual self-development to relationship development and the community
• (23:22) To experience Unfolding, we need to shift away from viewing the world in mechanistic terms
• (28:11) As start to attune to ourselves more poetically, we uncover and materialise the innate goodness that's there
• (31:21) How Aletheia is helping bring the Unfolding paradigm as a response to the challenges in the world today
