In this week’s podcast I question the pervasive "self-improvement" culture, arguing that constant striving for progress isn't always healthy or necessary. I was inspired by a statement by one of the fitness instructor's on my Peloton app about progress and I contrast it with the idea of contentment and acceptance of one's current state. This podcast prompts listeners to consider the pressures of this culture and whether constant self-improvement is truly beneficial, and includes recommendations that further explore related themes such as productivity, goal setting, and the impact of technology.
