TED: How to let go of being a "good" person -- and become a better person | Dolly Chugh

The video explores the concept of moral identity and how our attachment to being seen as a 'good person' can hinder personal growth. It introduces the ideas of bounded rationality and bounded ethicality, explaining how our brains rely on shortcuts that can lead to unconscious biases and ethical mistakes. The speaker suggests that defensiveness often prevents us from learning from our mistakes. Instead of striving to be a 'good person,' the speaker advocates for becoming a 'good-ish person,' who acknowledges and learns from mistakes, allowing for personal growth and ethical improvement.
