I describe this podcast as a form of 'collective self-help.' In this episode, I explain what that means and why it's exactly the kind of help we need.

The self-help industry has been steadily growing for decades. Some love it and can't get enough, while others are critical of its purveyors and the movement at large. The real situation, I argue, is much more interesting than the typical good/bad frame would suggest. 

There's much to be skeptical of in the realm of self-help, but there are also good reasons why people today need help more than ever and there's good help to be found there. I discuss some practical ways we can use the best of what self-help has to offer while multiplying its benefits for the good of all—ourselves and the collective.
