Self-preoccupied or self-absorbed individuals usually don’t show much concern for anyone or anything outside their own self-interest. As such, they typically make little effort to understand another’s thoughts and feelings, and if by chance they do they can easily miss the mark because they are so focused on self. Consequently, they generally don’t make the best of friends or coworkers. Dr. McKinley engages in an insightful discussion with guest Dr. Jim Shalley about self-preoccupied behavior and how it may impact people’s ability to lead their own lives and those they are responsible for. They explore that while moving away from a path of self-preoccupation may seem unlikely, it is in fact possible.
