Discovering Our True Identity

OPRAH AND ECKHART TOLLE
About this episode

In this podcast Eckhart discusses how we define our personal identity. He says it usually begins

with the physical body, then possessions and achievements. He says we may have a long list of

accomplishments - even personal wealth, but we’re not satisfied; we’re still not good enough.

Eckhart explains defining ourselves in these superficial terms is a trap and just another form of

ego. Our true identity is beyond that.
