In “Behind the Quote,” hosts Jessica Reyes and Patricia Wu discuss about a timeless quote often attributed to Lao Tzu that emphasizes the power of self-acceptance. Dr. Aziz Gazipura, guest psychologist, breaks down this profound wisdom, exploring why seeking external validation is often a fruitless pursuit while true self-acceptance leads to lasting inner peace.

Dr. Aziz offers practical insights and strategies to help viewers cultivate a healthy sense of self.

Be on your own side
