About This Quote
People are a soul-ego-spacesuit is a phrase that was coined by Edward de Bono. It describes the way people think of themselves, the way they feel about themselves, and how they interact with others. In simple terms, the soul is the part of a person that is made up of personality traits and characteristics. The ego is what we do to try to be better than we are and to live up to our potential.
The spacesuit is how we relate to others and the world around us. When we’re in our spacesuits, we can’t see or hear anyone else and we don’t really care about them. But when we take off our spacesuits and put on our souls, we see people as living beings with feelings and emotions just like us.
