Brian Lowery on understanding the social self Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel

    • Careers

We’re independent! We make our own choices and do our own thing, and march to the beat of our own drum. Right? Turns out, not nearly as much as we thought. In today’s conversation, Jessi visits with Brian Lowery. He’s a social psychologist who runs the Leadership for Society program at the Stanford Business School. His new book is SELFLESS: The Social Construction of “You.” And he’s here to explain that we are all influenced by others, just as we are influencing them, too. Brian shares his philosophy of the social self alongside thoughts on how we can make big changes to ourselves and our communities - by being more consciously in community.
