What if one morning, you woke up as someone—or something—completely unrecognizable? In Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa transforms into a giant insect overnight, but the real horror isn’t his new body—it’s realizing how much of himself he’s already lost by living for others. In this episode, we’re diving into the dark side of people-pleasing: why we do it, how it hollows us out, and the painful truth that sacrificing yourself for others doesn’t always earn their love—just their dependence.

Book mentioned: The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga
