Our society is obsessed with self-improvement. This was a major feature of how I related to reality for most of my life. As helpful as self-improvement can be, it also has a major shadow side that largely goes unexamined.

Implicit in the pursuit of self-improvement is that there is a deficit; that whatever or however your being is in this moment is not whole or complete. This keeps you grasping in a seemingly endless treadmill without ever reaching an enduring sense of completion or fulfillment.

Most people don't really even know there is an alternative to the self-improvement paradigm. This is one of the main topics of today's conversation with Steve March, the founder of Aletheia Coaching.

Some of my other favorite ideas include:

1. Why self-improvement on its own can be a trap
2. Striking the balance between self-improvement and self-unfoldment
3. How to practically embody a more unfoldment experience
4. Understanding how solutions and support often arise when we allow them vs. exert force
5. How shifting our attunement and unfoldment might be an answer to our current metacrisis
