Healthy Egoism: The Key to a Better Life and Relationships | Violetta Małek | TEDxUniversity of Lodz
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-11 16:58
Core Argument - The presentation advocates for healthy egoism, distinguishing it from harmful egoism and narcissism, emphasizing self-awareness, boundary setting, and self-care [5][9][17][18] - It highlights the importance of prioritizing one's own needs to effectively support others, using the analogy of putting on an oxygen mask first on an airplane [4] Defining Healthy Egoism - Healthy egoism involves knowing oneself, one's needs, and how to position oneself in various environments [17] - It includes building boundaries and teaching others how to treat you, as people will treat you based on their understanding unless instructed otherwise [18] - Self-care is presented as a right, not a luxury, essential for restoring energy [18] Contrasting with Unhealthy Egoism and Narcissism - Unhealthy egoism is characterized by controlling and manipulating others, seeking constant spotlight, and disregarding the impact of actions on others [5][6] - Another example is being overly focused on career development to the detriment of relationships and personal well-being, leading to others feeling used or dismissed [7] Practical Techniques for Boundary Setting - The "I message" technique is introduced, involving describing the situation, naming the emotion, explaining why it's important, and suggesting a solution, all without accusatory language [20] - Communicating with care and without guilt or apologies for setting boundaries is crucial for success [22] Real-life Examples - Examples include an assistant overwhelmed by requests from other departments [10][11] and a woman stressed by a Saturday morning call from her boss [11][12][13], illustrating the consequences of not setting boundaries - Another example is a woman who comes home with heavy shopping bags and is only asked when dinner will be ready, highlighting the need to teach family members how to treat her [15][16] Benefits of Healthy Egoism - Psychologists suggest that self-focus improves life and career, enhances mental health by reducing depression and anxiety, and increases resilience in office environments [23] - Setting boundaries is presented as an act of love for oneself and others [23]

Really good.Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. And suddenly I was torn. One part of me was ...

What will other people think.And what's interesting is there was no limit to selflessness. The more you give, the more selfless you are, the better of a person you are.
