A wolf attacks a flock, kills one hundred sheep, but eats only one. This is not the story of an animal; it is the story of humanity. This episode of RESTART delivers a devastating diagnosis of the human condition, arguing that we are all wolves driven by a predatory instinct to hoard resources we don't need—from the food in our refrigerators to the money in our bank accounts. This "wolf" is the egotistical self, the source of all conflict and suffering, and the reason our world is in a state of perpetual crisis.

But there is an antidote. We journey into the parables of the great Sufis to discover the path to killing the wolf within. Discover the story of Sheikh Kharqan, who reached his high spiritual station through a single act of mercy to a dog, and the tale of Hallaj, the mystic who was seen pulling his inner "dogs" rather than being pulled by them. This episode reveals why this inner work is a matter of eternal life and death, explaining that in the afterlife, your "nourishment is thought." The wisdom and self-mastery you cultivate now are the only things you can take with you. This is your guide to transforming from a predator into a true human being.
