In a society where we’re not having enough fun, birthdays feel like a layup. They come around every year, they’re personal, they’re a reason to get together and celebrate someone you care about. So why do so many of us act like they’re no big deal? In this episode Simon, Maria Van Buskirk and Biz Anderson dig into why birthdays can make people uncomfortable, why we don’t like talking about ourselves and why we still secretly want people to make a fuss. From the pressure of planning to the fear of seeming self-involved, the group tries to crack what’s getting in the way of bigger, better birthdays. Give it a listen!
