Life Cycle: Selfish or selfless - which are you?

Selfish or selfless - which are you?

BBC Radio Scotland - Life Cycle, Selfish or selfless - which are you?

It's all about me, me, me!  Be honest how selfish or selfless are you?

Lee Craigie asks can we ever really be selfless or are we all about me, me, me?  Petra Wetzel, Claire Kelly, Sanni McCandless and Dave Macleod provide food for thought.

No one likes to think of themselves as ‘selfish’ but is there really any such thing as true selfless-ness and what is the personal benefit of giving to others?   What is the true nature of the relationship between selfish and selflessness and how do you find harmony between what you need and want from life and what others seem to need and want from you?  

Brewer Petra Wetzel talks about her decision to give away her company and surrogate mum Claire Kelly talks about why she loves having children for others while top climber Dave Macleod and life coach Sanni McCandless consider whether putting your life at risk is selfish or selfless.

If you ever need a great argument for being true to your self don't miss Sanni's call to change how we feel about being selfish.
