Episode 49: Popular Psychology & the Self-Help Revolution... with Eimear McCosker
Today, Eimear joins me on FaceTime from her barn for the first episode of the lockdown period. For many of us, self-isolation brings feelings of uncertainty to the surface, and I imagine people will turn to a self-help book at some stage. So, we want to demystify this phenomenon, delving into the positive and negative connotations of the self-help movement. A compelling chat awaits!
Books mentioned: Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell; The Consolations of Philosophy - Alain de Botton; Feel Better in 5 - Dr Rangan Chatterjee; Waking Up - Sam Harris
Podcast: How to Fail - hosted by Elizabeth Day (and of course your weekly dose of TNS).
