Dr. John Delony believes that narcissism and self-interest are on the rise because we've abandoned traditional values and narratives that bind us together. He advocates restoring a sense of service, collaboration, and "us over me" to find fulfillment, create warmth, and build stronger relationships. Delony uses an evocative analogy - comparing relationships to the 9/11 towers - to argue that we must let go of the past and build something new after hardship. Overall, he makes a thoughtful case that wholehearted service to others and community provides meaning and purpose.
