Description

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why a lot of self-help makes you feel miserable by design and what you can do to improve yourself without being suckered by hucksters or succumbing to an existential meltdown.
What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi:

Why so-called "self-help" often makes you feel worse about yourself than before you sought it.
How to separate actionable self-help from motivational "hustle porn" designed to prompt emotions and elicit sales.
Why those inspirational bromides you’re seeing all over Instagram might goad you into short-term action, but won't do much for you over the long haul.
Striving to improve yourself is admirable and encouraged -- just don't get suckered into the myth that there's a finish line.
How to consume genuine self-help without being miserable while avoiding the big business con-artistry that pervades this space.
And much more...
