Ignaz Semmelweis was a Hungarian physician who discovered the cause of childbed fever and introduced the "germ theory" to the medical world. Unfortunately, it was through his experience of contaminating his patients that he learned that he was the problem. He was the carrier of the disease that led to many deaths in Vienna General Hospital.
Like Semmelweis, we are the problems to our problems. We don't always see it, because we are self-deceived, but we are the contributors to our problems.
In this podcast we discuss self-deception, how we contribute to our problems, and how to contribute to the solutions by using two simple questions.
Listen in to hear more about Ignaz Semmelwis' story and discovery and how this relates to us in our day-to-day interactions and relationship, and then how to become the solution!
