Why You’re a Victim (and what to do about it)
Being a victim is all the rage these days. You can thank Rousseau for that.
In today’s video, we look to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" to explore the philosophical underpinnings of our society’s cult of victimhood.
Knowledge is power, and my hope is that this knowledge helps you grow as an individual. Nothing is more empowering (in the true sense, not the overused wishy-washy one) than being able to break free from the mind-forged manacles of victimhood.
If you like the quote I presented at the end of this video (from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”), then I encourage you to check out the following video of mine about another piece of wisdom gleaned from that same play:
