The "Nature" of Identity (A Conversation with Jon-Erik)

Jon-Erik makes his first appearance on IA to explore the nature of identity outside of a human context and what we can learn from a more phenomenological approach to everyday life. This examination leads to the discussion of a range of related topics including:

• the discrete value of distance running
• balancing acceptance and ambition
• the primacy of an intimate relationship with nature
• lessons learned from a silent retreat
• how the ego can lead us to water but cannot make us drink
• the importance of relinquishing perceived control

and many more!
