One of the features of modern life that sets us apart from our ancestors is our focus on the shape, form and function of our bodies, or “looking good,” so to speak.
Though many of us give little thought to the subject, some are obsessed with how we present ourselves physically, and most of us are somewhere in between.
It would be fair to say, though, that we’re probably much more “body-centric” than our grandparents or earlier generations were.
So is such behavior evolutionary or does it slow us down and keep us at the superficial level of life?
In this episode, a listener poses a question to Thom about the compatibility of body-based goals with our evolution, and whether they hold us back or not.
As is often the case, Thom makes the distinction between cause and effect, and gives us clear instructions on where to focus our efforts.

[00:58] What's Beyond the Body?
