Can You Take Credit for Who You Are? by Ben Bayer
Listen now
Description
What makes you who you are? Is it nature or nurture—or a bit of both? Or does that very way of framing the question leave out something very important, namely—you? Can you take credit for who you are? If so, how? We can’t and we don’t create ourselves out of nothing. Some people are born with advantages that other people don’t have. So, how can we take credit for our achievements? How can we be blamed for our crimes? Join Ben Bayer to explore one of life’s big questions: Can you take credit for who you are?
