Summary

In this episode of the Personality Hacker podcast, Joel and Antonia dive into Plato’s allegory of the cave to talk about how we can get stuck in false stories about ourselves—and how personality type helps us break free. They explore how we fool ourselves, how others influence our thinking, and how developing self-awareness through the co-pilot function can lead to real personal growth.
