So for me, the parable is about which desires we should starve and which desires we should feed.
Have you ever wondered why you want what you want? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Luke Burgis, an entrepreneur and author, about the fascinating concept of mimetic desires. Burgis, who also directs programs at The Center for Principled Entrepreneurship, dives into his book 'Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life'.
He breaks down how our desires are often imitations of others' wants, influenced by societal norms and the people around us. This episode is a deep dive into understanding these social forces and learning to discern which desires are worth pursuing. Burgis shares practical advice on how to identify positive and negative mimetic behaviors, and how having a clear purpose can guide our decisions.
If you're curious about why you crave certain things and how to make more intentional choices, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how understanding mimetic desires can help you feed the right wolf in your life.
