This session explores what is true human nature — and how the modern world has warped our understanding of our needs. Dr. Maté begins by explaining that as humans, we need interconnection: We rely on others to survive, especially as children. Yet, we also strive for authenticity. This creates an inherent tension that, if not managed well, can cause problems.About the Commune Courses PodcastCommune creates video courses with world-renowned teachers on topics such as integrative medicine, nutrition, spirituality, meditation, personal growth, relationships, and mindful leadership.
