#07 A philosophical obsession and the search for character: when do we become what we are?

When do we become who we are? What makes me the person I am, and not someone else?

How far back should we go, to find that out?

And what does it mean to embrace our destiny, to own our story?

Today we are thrilled to discuss these topics with Susi Ferrarello, philosopher, Professor at California State University, East Bay, and philosophical counsellor.
