‪@RickHanson‬ and I discuss what's wrong with the self-help industry.

We explore the industry's mixed-bag focus on individual responsibility, the risks of turning healing into a never-ending project, performative personal growth, narcissism, social media and capitalism, and honest striving vs. hustle culture. We also talk about our personal experiences navigating our relationship to the industry. Throughout, we emphasize finding the middle path: balancing agency with awareness, growth with acceptance, and sincerity with skepticism.
