In this article, Gabor Mate discusses the childhood lie that is negatively impacting our lives. He explains that many children are taught that their worth depends on their achievements and that they must constantly strive for success. This belief system leads to stress, anxiety, and a societal focus on external validation. Mate argues that we need to reevaluate this perspective and teach children that their worth is inherent, not dependent on their accomplishments. By doing so, we can create a healthier and more fulfilling society.
