You Are Not a Machine — Lao Tzu & Bhagavad Gita

Описание: When did we start measuring our worth by how much we produce? At some point, without noticing, I started treating myself like a machine. Maybe you have too.

This is the question I couldn't stop thinking about — and it led me to two ancient teachings that changed how I see everything. Lao Tzu saw this trap 2,500 years ago. The Bhagavad Gita offered the way out.

If you've ever felt like you're never doing enough, never achieving enough, never quite enough — this one is for you.
