MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez on the Likeability Trap, Why We Care So Much About What Others Think of Us, and Why Women in Particular Often Have to Choose Between Success and Likeability


Listen Later

Talk about feeling seen—when I read Alicia Menendez’s book The Likeability Trap: How to Break Free and Succeed As You Are four years ago, I thought, “Finally. Someone gets me.” And, listeners, I believe you will feel seen too through this conversation, though I wish that wasn’t so.
