The hidden truth about human connection | Dan Foxx | TEDxChelmsford

As human beings we have always been genetically driven to connect with other people. We are social animals but we are really poor at this skill. And we are “blind” to the obstacle which stands in our way, because the obstacle is US! The key to unlocking human connection is found in our ability to obscure our selfish underlying ego. We do this by learning a new way to love. The paradox is discovered when we authentically care for others first, we usually get more than we ever dreamed possible on our new and old relationships.
