Systema For Life Podcast - Episode 29: On Pride and Ego

This week, we're joined once again by health and wellness guru Howard Jacobson, for a discussion of the perils of pride.

Along the way, we touch upon what pride is; whether there's such a thing as "good" pride; moral/religious injuctions on pride; humility and realism as the anitdote to ego; and why bees are assholes :)
